Alley Cats and Angels Hold First $10 Mobile Spay Day for Cats Thanks to a Grant from the ASPCA

Jan. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- On January 18, 2011, Alley Cats and Angels of North Carolina will hold a $10 spay/neuter clinic for friendly and feral cats in the Triangle, NC area.  This spay day will be performed by the SNAP-NC mobile unit and spay/neuter and vaccinations will be provided for up to 45 cats.  This event is being sponsored through a grant from the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, www.aspca.org) and a matching donation from First Insurance Services.

Tia Hagnas, President and Founder of Alley Cats and Angels, said “Most people know there is a dire cat overpopulation situation, but many do not realize the extent of the situation.  More than 6 million companion animals enter our nation’s shelters each year, of those entering shelters, over 3 million are euthanized.  Spaying and neutering is the only 100% proven way to reduce these numbers and prevent the tragedy of overpopulation. Alley Cats and Angels is committed to helping end pet overpopulation through our Alter an Alley Cat program which provides spay/neuter assistance.”

If you are unable to afford to spay/neuter and vaccinate your pet cat or feral cats, please contact Alley Cats and Angels.  In addition, to their January 18th spay day, they are sponsoring a free spay day on February 22, 2011 in honor of National Spay Day, as well as other low-cost spay days throughout the year.  Alley Cats and Angels asks you to help them save lives by donating to their Alter an Alley Cat Program to help offset the costs of these and future spay days.
