Kitten Hysterectomy Postponed...

Can you believe that my vet wanted to charge me $150 to get Crash spayed. I did some research and with my mom's help was able to find an orginization of actor's, in conjuction with the City of Los Angeles that help with pet hospital expenses. They organization is called 'Actor's and Others for Animals' http://www.actorsandothers.com/

Actors and Others for Animals is a California 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to the promotion of the humane treatment of animals. Our main mission is to curb the pet overpopulation problem by subsidizing spay/neuter surgeries. Together with other vital services, we are there to help pet guardians living on a low and/or fixed income care for their beloved companions

I highly recommend using this program if you have pets in the greater Los Angeles area. If you don't live in LA, I'm sure there are similar organizations close to you.

I was able to go to the city shelter to get a $30 voucher that helped with the cost of getting my little one spayed. They gave me a listing of veteranarian offices in the area that participated in this program and I found one that charges $40 for the entire procedure!! I will pay only $10.


I made the appointment for later this month, and I feel much better about doing this now that I know that many people are in support of it.
