Programs:

 

March 22nd will be the 1st visit by the Neuter Scooter to offer free spay/neuter to low income individuals and families who have female cats who may become pregnant this kitten season.   Some space available for male companions to receive free neuter.
 
By spaying and neutering cats and kittens of 91977, this will alleviate some of relinquishments to the south shelter and also reduce the number of the inevitable euthanasia of unwanted cats and kittens (saving tax payers $$).
 
Low income residents of 91977 can call SNAP's hotline at 1-866-SPAY BUS to make an appointment for their female cat to get spayed.  The cats will also receive a free dose of advantage and a free nail trim.
