Greetings,

We need your help.  Make sure your pet is spayed or neutered.  If there are homeless cats and kittens in your area, get them spayed or neutered now.  Pet over population is a serious problem affecting Beaufort County. If you think just one litter won't matter, consider this: One unspayed female cat having just four kittens a year and just two females per litter, can be the cause of over 10,000 kittens being born over the next seven years. Dog and cat overpopulation is a national tragedy. Millions of dogs and cats are killed in shelters, hit by cars, or die on the streets - simply because of neglect and there are not enough permanent or temporary homes.

There are several active spay/neuter programs trying to limit the number of litters born to cats and dogs especially the homeless.

Until the money runs out, SPAY Inc and Port Royal Veterinary Hospital (PRVH) are offering cat spays or neuters for $35, includes rabies and distemper shots. Call PRVH -- 379-7387 for appointments.

For more information on other spay/neuter programs, check out our Spay/Neuter page in the left hand navigation bar.

Lucy is currently in a foster to adopt situation.  It is looking good that she may have found her forever home.  Keep your fingers crossed.  Rexy is now in the lobby cage at Port Royal Veterinary Hospital.  If you would like to meet him, stop by PRVH.  The first step in the adoption process is to complete the Humane Association of the Lowcountry (HAL) Adoption Application located in the left-hand navigation bar.
