Hi Gloria, I'm in Northampton County, Accomack County is just north of me. The
closest on the spayva list is under Norfolk, the Virginia Beach SPCA. They are
the ones that have the Neuter Scooter and charge $65/cat.
Thanks for your help

Wow - I have to say - we have several options here in Ark. for $25-$40 per
cat. And our rescue group even does some special deals for cat colonies. Can't
believe they don't have something better than $65 in the Virginia shore area.
Have you tried Spay Virginia - http://www.spayva.org/spay_neuter.html ?

The best I have found is the Virginia Beach SPCA Neuter Scooter that comes
over to the Eastern Shore one day a month. The cost per cat is $65 and you
have to schedule an appointment in advance. Not sure if i have to pay in
advance too. That means I have to schedule a appointment then hope like heck I
can trap one of them the day before. The local SPCA refused to get involved
with feral kitties.
Thanks for your help

I looked out there, and in the section on Vet and Neuter, they have
absolutely nothing but veterinarians listed in my area - and we (Arkansas) have
a bunch of options for low cost spay/neuter options. THey don't have our cat
rescue listed, so I submitted it.
I think I'd contact some local rescues to find out about s/n in Virginia -
gotta be there somewhere....

Oops - not reading my email in sequence, sorry. Well, hope you find something
a lot less than $100 per.

Does Spay USA have a branch in your state? In Georgia (Spay Georgia),
one can purchase certificates which allow a huge discount at participating
vets. They send a list of those vets when they send your certificates.

Thanks Gloria. So far it looks like the best I'm going to be able to do on
the neutering is $100. There is a chance the Tidewater SPCA Neuter Scooter
will come over to the Eastern Shore and I could save $25. I can afford to care
for the 2 I have rescued. I'll have to work on colony one cat at a time as my
budget allows. I am trying to recruit local sponsors to help with the cost.
Local SPCA doesn't believe in TNR for ferals. I just don't want to have to
tell the vet anything when I bring in a colony kitty.

That's wonderful that you're doing this. Would be nice if you could find a
low-cost spay neuter clinic, or a free service, to help fund the neutering. RE
your question about telling the vet, I don't know. If 2 are positive, still
doesn't mean all the others are, although of course there's a chance. Any vet
should be aware that if the kitty hasn't been tested, there's a potential for
FELV or FIV. Neutering is the key to preventing the spread of this, as I
understand. Least my take on it. Hope you find a good option for low cost
or free neutering.

I had been feeding a group of dumpster 8 kittens and ended up rescuing 2,
Sissy and Rocket, when they were about 12 weeks old. On their 1st vet visit
both tested FeLV+. I will have both retested the end of April to see if they
are still positive. I have them quarantined in my garage. They are eating
Iams canned kitten food supplemented with a Super B Complex, Lactoferrin and
DMG. So far they are responding well and seem very healthy. Both have had
their kitten shots and been wormed.
If they stay positive I will either find a forever home for them or build an
enclosure onto the garage for them. I have 2 indoor kitties and one has CRF so
am concerned about bringing them into the house.
My questions concern the rest of the colony which includes at least 4 adults.
I can not take all of them in. My plan had been to TNR the colony
(trap/neuter/release). The vet is recommending euthanizing the entire colony if
these 2 stay positive. I am not sure where I will be able to get then neutered
if they are positive. And I can not trap them just to have them euthanized.
That may be the best thing to do but I just can't do it. Is there any info on
how to deal with a FeLV+ feral colony? Any advise on how to get them neutered?
Am I obligated to tell the vet about the potential for FeLV when having them
neutered?
