I had no idea how expensive and how long it takes to get a vet appointment to have Spaying and Neutering done till we adopted a young female cat this past Wednesday. She was dropped off where I work as a stray. Hubby loved her immediately as she is very friendly and such a lovely girl. Our one outdoor/woodshop cat is probably feral as she just showed up here at our house years ago being very skittish and unfriendly. She only allows us to pet her. The other is our grandson's cat which he got as a kitten when his Dad lived here. It's a Maine Coon cross and he is very independent and also stand offish unless he wants something. The new one (now christened Rosie) of course must be spayed asap. She is in quarantine till it's safe to let her outside alone during the day. So I started the search to find an appointment that we can afford. I got dates clear out to the end of May and prices that would make anyone reconsider adopting a cat and it's everywhere! I called all over our local vets for info and was just simply shocked! With a cat population out of control, I would imagine someone locally is doing something, but where? Today I found a clinic in Ridgway that is apparently done every month. Bravo! I wonder if our area could carry out such an event on a regular basis? Does anyone know of any clinics that happen locally? I would be tickled to help out on a regular basis and have friends who said the same thing. Fundraisers would probably make it easier to get it done also. Help?
