Cat spay/neuter clinic slated in West Maui
LAHAINA – The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will bring its team of spay/neuter volunteers to Lahaina for West Maui’s first-ever mass spay/neuter clinic for cats on Sunday, June 9.
SPCA Maui is partnering with Veterinarian Dr. Susan Baillie and West Maui Pet Supply for the clinic, the first in a new, ongoing series targeting both owned, community and feral cats.
Clients are asked to “pay what they can,” said clinic coordinator and SPCAM President Sue Liscombe. “Space is limited, so call and book a space today.
“Humane traps are available to lend free of charge, too” added Liscombe.
SPCA Maui will conduct similar clinics in Wailuku on June 16 and 23.
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is an all-volunteer, not for profit, 501(c)(3) dedicated to a “No More Homeless Pets Maui” and the ending of killing as a means of companion animal population control.
Call 280-0738 or e-mail info@spcamaui.org to register, obtain clinic information, or become a sponsor or volunteer.
