A representative of the Spay and Neuter Project spearheading the operations to reduce the nuisance number of feral cats in Plumas County stemming from recent wildfires says the 3rd iteration of the event took place October 12th.
Funded through Dixie Fire Settlement monies allocated by the county, the program was able to buy 100 traps and enlist the services of Dr. Rollstein, Frank Meriill and Michelle Kelly. The Spay-a-thons also saw the large support of numerous volunteers largely through the Friends of Plumas County Animals non-profit, and PAWs.
Linda shared that the event likely stopped the breeding of thousands of more cats, treating a total of 77 this round for a total of 200.
Supervisor Greg Hagwood thanked the program for their efforts, noting volunteers likely offset the “future suffering” of the animals.
On the heels of a third successful event, another spay-a-thon is in the works this coming spring.
