South County Cats received a grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or ASPCA, the nation’s oldest animal welfare organization, for its companion cat spay and neuter voucher program.

This grant  will provide financial support for approximately 240 spay and neuter operations.

Each year South County Cats facilitates hundreds of spay and neuters through this program to proactively reduce the uncontrolled breeding of cats the community.

The program offers vouchers for free cat or kitten spay and neuter for low-income, disabled and senior citizens in south King County.

Eight veterinarians and two spay/neuter clinics participate in this program.

“We are honored to receive program funds from this well known organization,” said Sally Halela, director of South County Cats. “This grant validates the important work South County Cats does to achieve its mission to save lives through spay and neuter.”

South County Cats was founded in July 2006 to help reduce overpopulation, homelessness and euthanasia of cats in our local shelters.

The non-profit will celebrate its five year anniversary with the achievement of nearly 4,000 spay and neuters.
