 Don't need another unwanted litter? Virden Pet Network is working in conjunction with the Virden Animal Hospital to jointly subsidize the cost of spay-neuter surgeries for qualified applicants. In this way, more animals can be fixed and many litters of unwanted kittens and puppies prevented. How to Apply:
Please be aware that the clinic may suggest additional services such as vaccinations or pain medication. These are not included in the spay-neuter program and are up to the pet owner to pay for. Questions? Contact the program manager Bev Bailey at 204-748-2136 or email tabbat@mts.net Stories From A Program Participant Arturo... The Formerly-Naughty Kitty As told by his human Back in January, Arturo's owner Courtney was at her wits end. She wrote to us: "He does suffer from some severe anxiety issues, is quite food greedy, cries often if he can't find you, scratches and has started to pee on everything. Turo does love to cuddle and would melt any heart. We really do adore him. And it breaks my heart to have to write this message. Sadly, as a relatively new cat owner and with everything that Turo requires by way of special care - I just feel this is responsibility I am incapable of fulfilling. I am not sure what else I can do to help him." I told Courtney about the benefits of neutering male cats and about our Low Cost Spay Neuter program. She applied and qualified. Arturo was neutered and we recently got this update from Courtney: "I just wanted to give you all an update on Arturo. He was neutered on February 3rd. We are so happy to say that all of the behaviour issues we were struggling with have ceased since his procedure! He has calmed down immensely and he is even less skittish (though he is still stranger leery), he doesn't mark anywhere nor does he attack leather or fur like he had. I truly believe he is so much happier and we are soo greatful for your advice and support! We couldn't imagine our lives without him! Thank you again. You are an amazing organization!" -Courtney, Tray and Turo |
