Neuterathon 2010

Neuterathon Feb. 27, 2010 - $6 Neuters Your Male Cat

Year of the Cat

To kick off "The Year of the Cat," a campaign raising awareness about America's #1 pet, the SHS Veterinary Clinic will be holding a special one day neuterathon.  Males cats will be neutered for the amazingly low price of $6.00.  This low price includes a microchip for permanent identification!

Because the SHS cares about the safety of your pets, all cats must be in carriers and up-to-date on their rabies and feline distemper (FVRCP) vaccines. These vaccines may be purchased at the neuterathon for an additional $5 each.

But I don't have a male cat!

We bet you know someone who does!  Please spread the word to friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors who need to know about this opportunity.  We encourage you to download a neuterathon flyer and pass them out everywhere you go.
Why should I neuter my male cat?

In addition to preventing unwanted litters, neutering a male cat will reduce or eliminate:

    * Spraying and marking what they think is their territory (it is often yours or your neighbors)
    * The desire to roam in search of females in heat, making them less likely to escape and be injured in fights or by cars
    * The risk of testicular cancer
    * The risk of prostate disease
    * Aggressive behavior

Neuterathon Update!

Now that all the dust has settled and all the paperwork has been completed, the SHS is proud to announce that we met our goal of neutering 250 male cats! We couldn't have done it without our many talented and dedicated volunteers. A big thank you to EVERYONE who put in their time and energy to help during this important event!
