It's time for the Winter Flea Market at Frost Park. Great gifts in time for the holidays. Check out our flyerSaturday July 24, 2010
If you manage a cat colony in zip codes 33019 or 33020 you can get your feral/stray cats spayed or neutered, rabies shot, and ear notch for FREE! We are participating in a TNR project that is being funded by a grant that Broward County Animal Care & Regulation received from PetsMart Charities. No appointment necessary however, Stray Aid is doing these Free surgeries ONLY on Weds/Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Drop off is between 8-9am.Stray Aid is located in the Animal Clinic at 4101 Griffin Road; best way to reach them is to text message to 954-816-0799 or email to mail@strayaid.org
You will also be offered the opportunity to voluntarily register your colony under a new, separate program which is not required for the grant when you take the cats to STRAY AID.
Feral Cat PAWS, Broward County TNR program.
PAWS was created to assist feral colony caretakers with TNR. The registration of the colony is not required for the spay/neuter through the grant. However, by registering the colony a free microchip will be provided at the time of the spay/neuter and you will be eligible for free food when available, low cost or free treatments for the colony cats, low cost or free spay/neuters for new cats in the colony after the grant expires, etc.
Also, please be aware, the registration information is strictly confidential. The data obtained will assist you in managing your colony, provide statistical information when groups seek grant funding for cat colonies, etc. Most importantly, if one of your cats is ever trapped and taken to a shelter, it can be returned to you. The microchip will be registered to Cat Rescue and they will maintain the information on the colony, including your contact information, so you will be contacted if you cat is picked up.
A colony can be any size. One or two cats fed outside your home or any number of cats that you feed in an alley, at work, near a restaurant etc. all constitute a colony.
The idea is to reduce the number of kittens being born in Broward County. There are so many homeless animals. The only way to stop it is SPAY/NEUTER.
For this program to succeed, we need all cat feeders to take advantage of these offers and get the cats and kittens fixed. Kittens can be fixed at a very early age. Mothers should be fixed as soon as the kittens are weaned. Male cats should be altered as well.
If we can make a difference in Hollywood, we may see the program grow rapidly to other cities!
