Alabama Spay/Neuter offering discounted spay services

Alabama Spay/Neuter is teaming up with PetsMart Charities® to offer discounted spay services through the month of February. For $20, individual cat owners can have their female felines fixed by an Alabama Spay/Neuter veternarian.

According to the group's Facebook page, the charitable grant will cover 500 cats so they urge cat owners to book an appointment as soon as possible by calling 205-956-0012.

Alabama Spay/Neuter began offering "high-quality, high-volume, low-cost spay/neutering" in 2008 as part of their mission to reduce the number of adoptable animals that are euthanized in Alabama shelters. The clinic serves 13 counties in central Alabama and also offers a mobile clinic.
