Free Neutering Clinic for Male Cats
December 07, 2009

Neutered male cats are less likely to bite, spray in the house, and run off. Nor will they produce kittens for whom there are no homes. Now people with incomes of $30,000 or less can have their male cats neutered absolutely free of charge at this special, one-day-only clinic on Monday, December 7. There are no residence requirements and you do not need an appointment. Simply withhold your cat's food after 10:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 6 (cats need an empty stomach for surgery)and bring them to the Medical Center between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. on Monday. Pick-up is between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. that same day. No feral cats or rescue groups at this clinic, please. For more information, call 202-726-2256 or write warl@warl.org.

The Washington Animal Rescue League is an animal protection group like no other. Its newly renovated facility incorporates the best design concepts from shelters around the world and takes them a step further to set a new global standard for the humane care of homeless and abused animals. Every detail of the dog dens, cat condos, and puppy pads was designed from the animals’ point of view to promote healing and maximally enhance the animals’ physical and emotional wellbeing as they recover from past traumas and await adoption. The renovation also expanded the capacity of the shelter. It now comfortably houses up to 350 animals and is one of the largest shelters on the East Coast. The League’s full-service Medical Center has been enlarged and renovated, too. It still provides affordable veterinary care for shelter animals and the pets of low-income guardians.

Thank you for visiting our Web site. We look forward to seeing you at the shelter!
