AC&W HOLDS HUGE NEUTER EVENT
On March 25th Animal Care & Welfare held a big neuter event at Brooke County Animal Shelter in West Virginia. With the help of 14 volunteers, every cat’s picture was taken, tagged and identified. Rabies vaccines were administered and all were wormed. Dr. Sue Smith from Chester Vet Clinic, neutered all the male cats in the facility. The cat room was then deep cleaned before all the cats returned to the room. With a very organized crew we completed the process in about 6 hours.
A total of 164 cats identified, 30 cats neutered, 60 separated to medicate.
We would like to thank everyone that participated to help make this project successful. Special thanks to Dr. Sue Smith for her donation of time and services.
It is amazing to have this big of a volume of cats that are all over you when you walk in the door, running up to you for attention! All the cats in this facility are super friendly and loving. If you are looking for the perfect cat, visit the Brook Co. Animal Shelter cat room and see what we mean for yourself. You will not walk away empty handed. You will walk away with a life long loving companion. Click the Play Icon to watch the slideshow below to view pictures from the event.

GREAT NEWS!!! AC&W COLLABORATES WITH HCMT
Animal Care and Welfare, Inc. has offered Homeless Cat Management Team a matching program to help with capital funds needed for a permanent clinic. Every dollar donated to HCMT will be matched by AC&W for their permanent clinic up to $50,000 (inherited from a long-time member of AC&W). Send your donations to HCMT, P.O. Box 100203, Pittsburgh, PA 15233-0203 or go to their website www.homelesscat.org and give through their JustGive program. Please identify your gift as "permanent clinic" or "capital campaign" in the memo line for both options. HCMT has some money in their capital program, and we are hoping that this matching program will get them much closer to their financial goal needed to open a permanent clinic. So, please help AC&W help HCMT! Please tell your animal-loving friends, your family, co-workers, everyone...and double your donation for this great opportunity. The quicker we raise the funds, the sooner we can help animals and people with low-cost spays and neuters.
