When I was a kid, I loved pretending to be too sick for school simply so I could stay home and watch The Price is Right. I loved the excitement, the games, and most of all, Bob Barker. I loved how he ended each show with the same exact message: “Help control the pet population. Have your pet spay or neutered.” He’s one of my favorite television personalities from my childhood.
St. John is carrying on Bob Barker’s work, but we need some financial support. The Animal Care Center, with the help of Visiting Veterinarians International, is about to embark on a major spay and neuter event, the largest St. John has ever undertaken.
From November 8th through November 11th, the Animal Care Center of St. John (I am proudly a board member) plans to spay and neuter 300 cats. As I mentioned, this is the largest spay and neuter event that we have ever undertaken. It’s a big deal, and it will make a huge impact in the community. But events like this take money to organize, and we are looking for donations to help.
We are so thankful that Visiting Veterans International is donating their time and equipment, but it is up to us to pay for their housing and transportation, as well as dozens of cat traps needed to successfully pull off this event.
The Animal Care Center has set up a GoFundMe for this event, but we are woefully short of our $65,000 goal. If you are able to donate, your money would go to a great cause, and we would be beyond thankful. All donations are tax-deductible too.
Click here to donate to this event via GoFundMe.
For those of you who prefer to donate the old fashioned way, you can send your donation directly to the Animal Care Center via their website at www.stjohnanimalcarecenter.com/donate. Again, all donations are tax-deductible.
I love kittens as much as the next gal, but the shelter has been completely overrun with kittens this year. Together, we can help control St. John’s pet population. Thank you for your support!
