Free spay/neuter clinic for feral cats planned on March 12

NEWS — The Kamloops branch of the B.C. SPCA will offer a free spay/neuter clinic for feral cats March 12.

The clinics are part of the effort to reduce pet overpopulation.

“We offer a range of free services, including medical examinations, spay/neuter operations, vaccinations, flea treatments, permanent identification and medical treatments for up to 100 cats during the clinic,” said Dr. James Lawson, chief animal health officer for the B.C. SPCA.

Anyone who cares for feral colonies and unowned cats can sign up to bring them in for sterilization. Any cat or kitten who is tame enough for adoption is placed into SPCA care for rehoming.

All appointments must be booked in advance.

A clinic will be held in Vancouver tomorrow, and one in Prince George on March 14.
