Free neutering
from Cat Protection
FROM February 14 to March 16 the Callington Cats' Protection is running a neutering campaign - for free!
Lynda Dawe, Branch Co-Ordinator of the Callington Branch, said the Branch is running this scheme in the hope that more people will be responsible and neuter their cats. The Branch is covering the full cost of the neutering for the first 100 local people on benefits or pensions who apply, whilst stocks last.
"Like many areas of the country, we have a problem with unwanted cats and kittens. Responsible preventative measures such as neutering need to be taken very seriously by cat owners," said Lynda Dawe. Members of the public wishing to obtain a full-cost neutering voucher should call the Callington Branch of Cats Protection. It should be noted that full-cost neutering vouchers are limited and are issued on a first-come, first-served basis.
For more information on the scheme, call Callington Cats' Protection on 01579 382794 (after 2.00 pm).
