"COMPASSION FOR CATS"
PROVIDING LOW COST SPAYING AND NEUTERING OF CATS IN THE GENESEE COUNTY AREA

Dear Friends:

We at Second Chance Sheltering Network, Inc. would like to let you know that the spay/neuter clinics for cats that are sponsored by us are open to the public (no income guidelines) and we welcome everyone from all counties not just Erie County. While we do understand it is quite a drive for some of your folks, it is well worth the trip expecially if they carpool with friends who need their cats spay/neutered as well.

Our clinics are done on Tuesday and Thursday in the Orchard Park area. Drop off is in the morning between 8:00am and 8:30am and pick up the same day between 4:00 and 4:30pm. The cost is $65 which includes:
spay/neuter, rabies and distemper vaccinations as well.

Everyone must be registered for the clinics in order to participate. To register they can call (716)652-1359 (an incoming line only) and leave a message and we will return the call and set up the registration.

We hope this will be helpful to some of your residents who need their pets spay or neutered.

Keep up the good work.
Sincerely, Second Chance Sheltering Network

HABITAT FOR CATS

Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic
To aid in the reduction of feral cat overpopulation, Habitat for Cats currently conducts a weekly low cost clinic in Henrietta, NY for feral/homeless/unowned cats.

For a $35.00 donation per cat, the following clinical services will be provided to each feral cat.
• Spay/neuter by an experienced veterinarian
• Anesthesia
• Pain control
• Dissolvable sutures
• Rabies & distemper vaccinations
• Flea, ear mite & parasite treatment
• Ear tipping (a universal symbol marking a feral cat as spayed/neutered). IMPORTANT: Ear tipping is a mandatory part of our procedure.

Any additional donations would be gladly accepted as the $35 fee does not cover the cost of the spay/neuter procedure nor clinic operations. This program is for feral/homeless/unowned cats only.

FERAL CAT FOCUS

Spay / Neuter Clinics are held at the SPCA, Northtowns Shelter, located at 205 Ensminger Road,  Tonawanda, NY 14150. You will need to drop the cat off at the Spay/Neuter Clinic at 8:00AM on the morning of your scheduled appointment. You will need to pick the cat up at 4:00PM on the same day. The cost for the medical services provided at the clinic is $15 per cat. There is no charge to borrow a trap, however, a $20 deposit is required. This deposit will be returned to you when you return the trap. Please call us at 1-888-902-9717, to make an appointment for the Spay/Neuter Clinic and , if necessary, determine how you can borrow a humane trap.

Alley Cat Allies is on the nation's foremost experts on feral cats for the past 15 years. They direct the TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) and Eartip Education Campaign, a program to help animal shelters and local TNR groups work cooperatively. TNR offiers a heumane, cost-effective program to manage and decrease feral cat populations. For more information on TNR or for assistance in locating a TNR group near you, please visit their website.

TEN LIVES CLUB located in Buffalo, NY

"Ten Lives Club began in January 2001 with a dream to be able to save as many cats as possible. In December 2004, TLC reached a huge milestone in that they adopted out their 2000th cat! That means 2,000 cats were saved and kept alive and adopted into new homes thanks to Ten Lives Club. Ten Lives Club is a registered non-profit organization that is made up of volunteers all devoted to the club's mission, "to promote, further and enhance all cat life". All cats matter to us no matter if a stray, a personal pet, a feral (wild cat) or a sick cat. Once a cat is surrendered to our group a thorough evaluation is done by one of our affiliated vets and all the necessary testing and shots are given. Most important, they are spayed and neutered. TLC believes strongly that the answer to the serious pet overpopulation problem is to spay and neuter!"

BLACK DOG, SECOND CHANCE located in Akron, NY

Our Mission: For whatever reason, people do not like black dogs. They are rarely adopted from shelters and the most commonly euthanized. They are frequently ignored even though they may be friendly and well behaved, while the other lighter-colored dogs get adopted quickly. Whatever the reason, it is true, these dogs generally wait THREE TIMES longer to finally be adopted. In turn, the shelters give up on them and they are euthanized. Our mission is to rescue these black dogs, just moments before euthanasia, and help them find their forever homes through an adoption process. Although we are not of 501 status, we work solely on a volunteer basis and any money donated to our organization goes to pay for much needed vet bills. Please consider adopting a black dog today.

But wait! We don't just rescue black dogs! We rescue any dog that is typically left behind by other rescues. They just happen to be mostly black ones, but some aren't.

Please note that we are also working in conjunction with many other rescue organizations. The dogs you see on this web site could be from other rescues, or they are in our own rescue care. We work with local rescue groups, which are of 501 status, and volunteer at various shelters. We also participate in dog transports for various rescues across the nation. We cross post dogs on the internet and have successfully rescued dogs by merely emailing other rescues. Some of the dogs we save don't even reach us. If you are looking for a particular type of dog, please email us. We can find you the right dog!
