LEXINGTON HUMANE SOCIETY’S
T
SPAY’STHEWAY PROGRAM SAVES LIVES
he Lexington Humane Society’s Spay’sTheWay program saves thousands of lives every single year. Spay’sTheWay is a low-cost spay/neuter program committed to reducing the number of homeless animals in our community. In the past 10-plus years, the LHS spay/neuter team has performed over 40,000 spay/neuter surgeries. This practice has prevented thousands of unwanted litters. What about feral felines in our community? If you have a feral or community cat on your property in need of surgery, contact Spay’sTheWay for
assistance. Community cats are altered through a process called trap-neuter-return, or TNR, which compassionately reduces the homeless cat population and saves lives. Cats are humanely trapped, brought into a clinic for spay/neuter, vaccinations and surgical ear-tip and returned to the trapping location after recovering from anesthesia. There are many health benefits to spaying or neutering your pet; it’s one of the best things you can do for your best friend. This procedure helps your pet live a longer, happier and healthier life;
provides significant cost savings throughout the lifetime of your pet; and prevents unwanted and homeless litters. If you have a feral or community cat in need of spay/neuter, contact the LHS Spay’sTheWay Community Cat Specialist at (859) 233-0044, Ext. 261. If you have a pet cat in need of spay/ neuter, contact Spay’sTheWay’s general voicemail system at (859) 233-0044 Ext. 228. For more information, please visit adoptlove.net.
