“Ten bucks a Tom“ event set by SNYP
From our weekly issue dated June 16, 2010
Spay/Neuter Your Pet (SNYP) is partnering with many veterinary offices throughout the valley this summer to offer an incredible price to neuter male cats:
Only $10 per neuter.
And only 500 certificates are available for sale on a first-come, first-served basis at Pet Country; Grange Co-Op stores in Medford, Ashland and White City; and the Mini Pet Marts on Stewart Avenue, and on Sixth Street in Grants Pass. The certificates can be redeemed at any of the many participating veterinary offices listed on the back of the certificate.
All males must be tame to qualify for the program.
SNYP organized the campaign to bring public awareness to the importance of altering male cats. Fewer than 30 percent of the animals SNYP assists are males, but the number of kittens surrendered at animal shelters is staggering “ and unfixed tomcats are one of the biggest causes.
Male cats do not have a heat cycle: They are ready, willing and able any time and anywhere, and are extremely aggressive in hunting any female in heat. While a female can have up to three litters a year, an active male cat can be responsible for hundreds of offspring a year.
Neutering also reduces wandering, cat fights and annoying spraying by male cats marking their territory.
Ten Bucks a Tom is organized and funded by SNYP. For more information, visit the SNYP Website at www.spayneuter.org or phone 541-858-3325.
