[Q:] LA Area Spay/Neuter and TNR Programs
Greetings;
Does anyone have any information about free LA area spay/neuter services, or (even better) a mobile spay/neuter van or vet that could be persuaded to come to do a good number of cats on-site (hopefully for a very reduced cost, or perhaps we could find funding for the situation) for someone who is unable to actually take them to the vet themselves (she's an elderly woman, who despite her best efforts is unable to keep her females indoors all the time, and consequently three of the four females have given birth to litters totalling 12 kittens in the last 3 months) I have heard of such things happening, such as the one in New York City that comes out to the location to do sizable numbers on call - and they're grant, federally and philanthropically subsidized, so the cost is very little, if anything at all. Does anyone know of such a service? If there is no such service which makes house calls, the next best thing would be somewhere we would be able to take them all to get them fixed (though the mass transit system isn't very keen about taking pets on busses, carrier or not, we've managed to do it more often than we were denied) if not via public transit, then perhaps we could fashion a loaned ride or such. In any case, there are currently 4 Females and 1 or 2 males that need to be fixed now, and depending on wether we take the kittens to a rescue organization or handle all the adoptions ourselves, we will eventually need to fix the 12 kittens (only four or five males.) as well. Any information you can provide us would be fantastic. Thanks in Advance, bowensanders |
