poor animalTEXAS LITTER CONTROL PARTNERS WITH HOMELESS PET PLACEMENT LEAGUE AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY SPAY NEUTER PROJECT TO OFFER FREE SPAY AND NEUTER SERVICES FOR CATS

Texas Litter Control, the Homeless Pet Placement League (HPPL) and the Montgomery County Spay Neuter Project (MCSNP) are partnering to provide free spay and neuter services for cats.  On November 10, 2013, the “Fix a Feline for Free” Day will take place at the Texas Litter Control clinic.  50 cats will be altered for people who are on public assistance.  Cat owners who are on disability, Social Security, unemployment, or food stamps will be eligible to participate.  These free services are underwritten by a grant from Houston’s PETSET to the Homeless Pet Placement League of Houston, the Montgomery County Spay Neuter Project and from generous private donors to the Texas Litter Control clinic.

Pet owners who qualify simply need to call the Texas Litter Control clinic to book an appointment for November 10th.  Cats must weigh at least 3 pounds.  Tame cats need to be in a carrier and feral (wild) cats need to come in traps.  Intake will be between 7:00am and 8:00am.  Pick up times will be assigned as cats are dropped off.  There is a limit of 2 cats per household and proof of public assistance must be provided at check in.
“We enjoy working with HPPL and the Montgomery County Spay Neuter Project on a regular basis for sponsored days,” explains Deana Sellens, Executive Director of Texas Litter Control.  “So many people cannot afford even our low cost services.  Being able to provide free services is the key to keeping unwanted litters out of our local shelters.”
Citizens who cannot participate or do not own a cat can still help by volunteering at the clinic as well as at offsite events for both Texas Litter Control, HPPL or MCSNP.   For more information on these organizations and what you can do, visit www.texaslittercontrol.org ,  www.hppl.org  or  www.mcsnp.org .
Texas Litter Control is a not for profit, low cost spay/neuter and wellness clinic for cats and dogs.  TLC is open Monday through Saturday by appointment for surgery and from 9am to 3pm Thursday through Saturday or vaccinations wellness services.  The TLC clinic could not exist without the generosity of Petroleum Wholesale.
