SPCA receives $10,000 grant from PetSmart Charities
NORWICH – The Chenango Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (CSPCA) received $10,000 to provide in house spay/neuter operations by for all of their shelter dogs and cats. The organization’s new pet sterilization program will alter hundreds of animals each year in a proactive mission to fight the area’s dire pet overpopulation problem.
Volunteer Veterinarians and Veterinary Technicians provide their skill and donate their time to the animals of the CSPCA. Dr. Tim Slater, of Jockeyport Veterinary Hospital said “It is great to be able to help these animals improve their chances of being adopted. By having a central surgical facility we will improve the efficiency and will allow more animals to be spayed and neutered.” Dr. Heather Highbridge of Hamilton Veterinary Hospital has assisted in putting the program together and provided the first surgeries as well. The CSPCA would welcome those who wish to donate their skills and time to the program.
The program offers spay/neuter services for dogs and cats entering the CSPCA prior to their being available for adoption, thus guaranteeing that all animals adopted will be altered prior to going to their new forever homes.
“We are excited to have this service for our animals. We are thankful to PetSmart Charities for making this dream a possibility and to our volunteer Medical staff for making it a reality. It will make a significant difference in how quickly we are able to offer our animals up for adoption as well as have a direct affect on the pet overpopulation issues in our county,” said Carol Hedlund, CSPCA Executive Director.
