There's been a lot of spaying and neutering going on around here! That's how we like it. I saw a great picture and saying the other day. Do you know how YOU can save 100 lives? The answer is simple---by spaying a single female! Yes, you can easily become a big part of helping with the cat overpopulation problem.
Saturday we had our FFRC spay/neuter day and did 4 females and 5 males. The girls were: Janna, Kwatille, Saseka and Vienna. The boys were Cairys, Ramsey, Sintel, Towner and a stray that a volunteer found. We cancelled two spays--Phoebe and Endure. We want Phoebe's nasal cavities to become clearer before an anesethic. And Endure too needs more "get healthy" time.
A special thanks to Joyce D for providing pizza for us hungry people on Saturday's surgery day. And also to Gusti for providing drinks! Pablo also brought in some pies! We were a contented group of workers! I'd like to say thanks too to the volunteers that come in to do post-op care. It's such a comfort to me to know that the kittens/cats are being held and carefully watched while they are waking up.
We also did physicals on Saturday. Joey had a thorough physical and nails trimmed. He's getting extra spruced up for his upcoming adoption! Camvi, Jones, Sea Turtle, Tabitha, Joyful, Lucy Ann, Merri, Polly and Walter. All are great. Sea Turtle appears to be healthier than last time! A good day.
Today, Monday, we are doing our HumaneOhio Transport. We sent up 18 females/12 males plus 2 dogs (1 male/1 female). They will be arriving back to FFRC somewhere around 5:30-6:00.
Here is our newest total! We have now done 455 spays/neuters. That would be 266 females, 188 males and 4 dogs! Keep 'em coming---we want to do more! We were asked by HumaneOhio is they thought we could keep these numbers during the winter. My response was that I believe so. Other than the 1st two months doing transports for HumaneOhio, we have not had to put any ads in the paper. So.....if we need to pop in another ad or two, we can. Right now, our November Transport is already full and December is getting there.
