RE: spay/neuter resources

[Stray Cat Alliance]

I have found it is easier to locate resources on the Pets 911 website if rather 
than clicking on the Veterinarians or Spay/Neuter links,  click instead on Find 
Rescues and Shelters and check out their services as some offer low cost 
spay/neuter under "services"

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.

Re: spay/neuter resources

[MaryChristine]

it could be a full-time job keeping up with them, seriously. i was ONLY
checking out places that had websites, and sometimes it was almost
impossible to actually FIND the information--and of the places i emailed, in
my official name so they wouldn't automatically ignore it, i got a less than
10% response rate.

i was using every main source available, and for some states i went to over
500 shelter/rescue sites--yet sometimes i found out about programs and
clinics not from the sites themselves, but from someone ELSE'S site that
referenced them. very difficult to find the information, and so many
programs are funded only until the money runs out.

the nationwide programs, like spayUSA and friends of animals have a
completely different way of listing/searching for programs, so unless a
place said that they participated in one of those programs, we couldn't
include them

i asked for help from one major group of spay/neuter activists, but got no
responses, tho they had lots of time and energy to attack one another and
everyone else's politics, so sometimes you just have to wonder what the real
agendas are.

if anyone has lots of time on their hands, we'd be GLAD to have help in
working on keeping the site as close to updated as is humanly possible

(oh, yeah--the animal-control facility in my own county has/had a low-cost
s/n program there's NO mention of it anywhere on their website i
found out about it through rumors.and no one i spoke to locally had ever
heard about it either. makes it a bit inaccessible.)

really tired of winter here in the midwest.

Re: spay/neuter resources

[Gloria Lane]

For my area (the 501 area code), the only listings are Care, and also  
North Little Rock Friends of Animals (which is actually the city  
animal control).  At least both those do offer some options for s/n,  
but I just haven't seen a site where they really list what's available  
in low cost s/n. Maybe these s/n clinics change frequently and it's  
hard to innumerate them?
