Spay and Neuter your pets

As well all know the stray animal population in Memphis and the surrounding area is growing every day. With tough economic time more people are giving up on their pets. Many of the animal shelters are filled to capacity. Many people will simple put their pets out on the street. This is very sad and it's hard to believe that anyone could do such a thing. That is why it is so important to spay and neuter your pets. There are a number of places in Memphis that offer low cost spaying and neutering.

Northgate Animal Hospital is currently offering a $50.00 special for Spaying/Neutering for the month of June. It is required that your pet is up to date on their vaccinations.

The Mid-South Spay & Neuter Services will spay/neuter feral cats for $25. If you find a stray cat in your neighborhood please consider making this small sacrifice. It can great reduce the stray cat population.

Mid-South Spay & Neuter Services has a special this month on neutering for male cats for $20. Call (901) 324-3202 to schedule an appointment. (Leave a message as they are in surgery all day)
