(BIRMINGHAM, AL) In conjunction with National Spay Day USA on February 24th, 2009, Friends of Cats and Dogs Foundation (FCDF) is pleased to announce the results of their THIRD sponsorship of a FREE SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC!!!
Over ONE HUNDRED cats and dogs were spay/neutered and received a rabies inoculation. The FCDF clinic was open to residents of the North Birmingham Area.
The FCDF Free Spay/Neuter Clinic was made possible by funding from the community and The Do Dah Day Organization. Drs. Rachel Nelson, Elizabeth Robinson, and Dr. Kristin Leedy performed surgeries at Cross Roads Animal Clinic, the Alabama Spay/Neuter Clinic hosted a clinic, and Dr. Wayne Standifer of Standifer Animal Clinic hosted two clinics.
During Spay Day USA's first 12 years, participants spayed or neutered an estimated 1,366,000 animals! When you consider that an unspayed cat can give birth to 18 kittens each year and an unspayed dog can give birth to 20 puppies each year, and that the average cost for shelters to handle each homeless animal is $176, it's clear that Spay Day USA participants have, potentially, prevented millions of surplus births and saved millions of taxpayers' dollars.
