Finding Affordable Spay and Neuter Services

[WagNBragShane]

<p>Hello WagNBrag-ers,</p>
<p>I just posted over in the Health section information about a new statewide service in Michigan for finding affordable spay and neuter services in that state. By calling a toll-free number, Michigan residents can locate nearby agencies providing low-cost spay and neuter services.</p>
<p>I learned that Michigan is 1 of 13 states providing this type of hotline service. Does your home state offer this type of hotline? If so, have you used it to find affordable spay and neuter services?</p>

<p>There is a hotline locally run by the Companion Animal Initiative of Tennessee or CAIT, a program of the Comparative Medicine Department&nbsp;of the UT Vet School.&nbsp; The CAIT hotline will provide information about low cost spay and neutering in the East Tennssee area.&nbsp; That number is (865)755-2276.&nbsp;</p>
<p>CAIT does other things, like partner with local organizations that work to reduce the feral cat population.&nbsp; This weekend, they're having a "Feral Fixin'" where folks who capture feral cats can get them neutered or spayed at no cost, preventing feral cat colonies from getting larger. Vet students provide the surgical services; so it benefits the cats and the students.</p>
