Sanctuary urges pet owners to spay animals

Sanctuary urges pet owners to spay animals A CITY animal sanctuary is encouraging pet owners to take advantage of a scheme to help combat the problem of unwanted litters. "While there will always be genuine reasons for us to care for unwanted adults, unwanted litters are completely avoidable if owners would only get their pets neutered. Save and Spay stamps can be used for dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets and guinea pigs - male or female. Carole Bowles MBE, Woodside founder, said: "We know that even with our low-cost scheme for owners on benefit or state pension, many still struggle to meet neutering costs in one payment. Some litters can be in care for over two months, considerably more if illness is involved, and the longer the stay, the longer the queue gets for other needy animals waiting for free space. At the moment the Elfordleigh sanctuary is looking after around 35 kittens with more on the way and two rabbit litters (around six in each) with another litter expected.
