A big thanks to Mich and Vern for coming on a Saturday to do a Flash Sale. There's been requests for a Saturday afternoon Sale, so that is what they did! And big thanks to all the participants, people who donated the items and mods for your help! This Sale will help us with our operational costs. Much appreciated. Tomorrow will be spent packing and shipping.
Yesterday was our surgery day. I am just so very happy for every single spay/neuter that we can accomplish. It feels right---it's the right thing for us to be doing. All the people who brought their cats here are very thankful for this opportunity. They love their cats and just want the surgery to be done to prevent kitties. A big thanks to Joyce D for the pizza lunch and to Gusti for the drinks!
Here's the breakdown from yesterday. We only had 1 FFRC spay and that was Tryphosa. She is doing good. We did a total of 19 cats--7 spays and 12 neuters. Every female was in heat. Owners requested: 9 feline leukemia/FIV tests, 10 distemper vaccines, 9 rabies vaccines and 11 flea preventions. These are at discounted prices but enough to cover our costs. FFRC did a complimentary capstar, wormer and 24 hour soreness med to each cat.
Here's our grand total so far on spays/neuters:
1/30 at FFRC--33 neuters
2/20 at FFRC--9 females, 14 neuters
3/7 Transport--20 females, 13 neuters
3/19 at FFRC--7 females 12 neuters
Various Vouchers--7 spays, 3 neuters
This comes to 43 spays and 75 neuters for 118 cats done total. And this is just a start! Our next FFRC spay/neuter will be April 16. Our next 2 Transports are April 4 and May 2. Vouchers are anytime.
Speaking of vouchers, here is how it works. If you live in Defiance or the surrounding area and can make your own appointment at HumaneOhio (419-266-5607), drive your cat there and back, we can offer a Voucher. Outdoor cats are $25 and inside cats are $45. The voucher is worth $20 so that brings the costs down to $5 or $25---a great deal! Just call FFRC and talk to us! Thank you.
