On Sept. 9, the BC SPCA Campbell River Branch launched Fix 400 Cats in Four Months, a promotional campaign inviting local residents to spay and neuter kittens and cats at no cost to themselves through a grant project funded by PetSmart Charities of Canada.
“We are asking the community to help us achieve our goal and take advantage of this limited-time resource,” says Stephanie Arkwright, BC SPCA Campbell River Branch manager. “It’s very important that everyone spay and neuter their pets, a decision that provides lifelong health benefits and will ultimately help reduce the number of homeless and abandoned kittens and cats on the streets.”
Currently, all Campbell River residents can fix their cats for free. The Branch is also asking the community to help them by taking in their neighborhood stray and feral cats to get fixed.
The program is expected to close in January 2015, but may wrap up sooner if 400 surgeries are reached before the goal date.
