Free Spay or Neuter Services For Cats On September 13th

AHS provides free services in honor of lifelong cat lover Donald Howell.
Thanks to a donor?’s generosity, the Arizona Humane Society on September 13 will spay or neuter 66 cats absolutely FREE!

?“We received a donation from the family of a wonderful man named Donald Howell. He was a lifelong cat lover who believed in battling feline overpopulation by spaying and neutering, and he certainly did his part by trapping, neutering and releasing feral cats in his neighborhood,?” said Kim Noetzel, AHS spokeswoman.

Howell passed away last October, and his family made a donation to the AHS in his name.

?“His family asked that in his honor, we utilize their donation to spay or neuter cats. We are more than happy to oblige, and applaud them for honoring his memory in such a meaningful way,?” she added.

The Donald Howell Feline Spay/Neuter Day is scheduled for Thursday September 13, 2007, at the AHS Sunnyslope Low-Cost Spay/Neuter and Wellness Clinic. The address is 1311 W. Hatcher Road, Phoenix.

AHS surgeons will spay 33 female cats and neuter 33 male cats for FREE. All feline patients must be in good health; be at least 8 weeks old; and weigh a minimum of 2 pounds. Cats should not be given food or water after 10 p.m. on the night before surgery. Cats and kittens must be safely contained in a carrier.

No appointment is necessary. Patients will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Check-in begins at 7 a.m. Early arrival is suggested, as there are a limited number of surgery slots available.
