SAWF in the meantime is educating the pubic about the importance of spaying and neutering their pets. We have a (TNR) Trap Neuter Return program for feral and homeless cats. A Spay and Neuter Voucher program through the Shasta County Animal Shelter and one of our Board of Directors who is a Veterinarian has started low cost spay and neutering for Feral cats once a month, starting November 22, 2009 & continuing the 3rd Sunday of every month.

Spay & Neuter Voucher/Adoption Program

Due to the County cut backs for the continued funding of spay and neuter vouchers, Shasta Animal Welfare Foundation has decided to continue sponsoring more Vouchers. $5,000 worth of vouchers for any dog or cat adopted through Shasta County Animal Control are available at the Shasta County Shelter on Radio Lane, Redding. Each voucher will be redeemable for $30. The voucher program will begin on March 1, 2010 and end when the vouchers run out or August 31, 2010, whichever comes first.

SAWF has compiled a list of participating Veterinarians for the spay/neuter voucher program, the list will be available to adopters at Shasta County Animal Control.

SAWF is also asking Veterinarians to help offset potential adopters spay & neuter expenses by contributing what they can. Veterinarian contributions are not mandatory to participate in the program. Dr. Rick Suther, a SAWF Board of Director at VCA Companion Hospital, 2133 Eureka Way 530-225-8910, will give an additional $25 for the spay and Neuter Adoption Program.
