I think all shelters and vets need to pair up and do the same thing. Taking care of unwanted litters at the root of the problem will save everyone a lot of heartache down the line. Although I also think that stray cats and dogs picked up by animal control should be spayed or neutered before being released to their owners.

With all the taxes we pay at the local, state and federal level, each city or county should provide this service free of charge once a year. Last year was my first time volunteering at the shelter during kitten season. It really torn me apart because there is never enough room for them. People would expect the shelter to take in these kittens when there were too many at animal control's office that were going to be put down. It was a no win and sad situation.

I so agree. If the costs were lower more people would be able to afford it. Especially with the economy the way it is...people will choose a new pair of shoes for their growing child over a elective operation for their pet. If the cost were minimal it might not be so.

Absolutely wonderful, It seems we are reading so many more positive solutions to feral cats lately, this is such a great program, The Vets that give so much of their time to provide this much needed service. This will cut down on the colony of Feral Cats and allow them to continue living their life.

Wonderful what these vets are doing. We have great vets like this in our area that help with our foster/shelter animals.

Our humane organization, Pets Without Parents, has a trap, spay-neuter and release program. We try to rehome the ferals on farms. Kudos to these vets for donating their time and money to this cause. This is a great program, and it is too bad all communities don't have a similar program.

Animal activists in collaboration with volunteer vets, what a wonderful idea. Best Friends Animal Society with its no kill ever doctrine (with the exception, of course, of a painful, terminal disease) step in yet again. Best Friends, Trap-Neuter-Return, and generous vets donating their time and skills, should make a huge difference for the feral cats of our country.

I am glad the focus is being kept and they are still working at making such a difference in their community. I hope they will give inspiration to other communites and give people an idea of how they can make a difference.
