Of the approximately 3,000 animals taken to the Lewis County Animal Shelter each year, between 1,000 and 1,100 are euthanized. About 99 percent of those are cats, many of them feral. The only sure way to decrease pet overpopulation ant the euthanasia that results from it is to have your pets spayed or neutered and TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) the ferals and hard strays. Please be responsible - there aren't enough homes for them all.

Come on people, let's spay and neuter before every female cat in Lewis County is pregnant. I've got lots of room for the February 20th and 26th spay/neuter clinics. After that it will be much harder to get appointments. Spaying just one female will prevent more than a dozen kittens from being born in just one year. This is sooo important. We can all rescue and adopt out kittens until we're blue in the face....but there are simply not enough homes to take them all. Be part of the solution...call today. 360-623-0820
