Our Vets bless um rang me yesterday and asked if I would like to run another low cost neutering campaign later this year.
The owner pays £5 (although in reality I often pay that as well) and Cats Protection give a £20 voucher for the neuter & £26 for a spay. So the vet does not make so much at these times and often has to set on another vet for the extra workload. I have not got time to set adverts up in the paper for a month now as I am away from 25 Sept until 15 Oct, also the extra work involved , paperwok, phone calls would just be too much while I am away as what I already do has to be covered. So I have asked the paper to start advertising for 5 weeks when I come back. Usually at these times at least 100 cats are 'done', Mind you I only have about couple of thousand left in my neutering budget. I have almost used my years worth in 6 months. I can I suppose apply to HQ for more as indeed I have for 20 ferals that are being 'done' just now But we may have to pay out of branch funds, but worth every penny in my opinion.
