I am very excited, we certainly need another low cost clinic. I am crossposting what they need in case anyone on this board can donate something on their wishlist to them (of course, contact them if you have ANY concerns).

The South Central Region consists of the counties of Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford, Campbell, Halifax and Pittsylvania and the cities of Bedford, Danville and Lynchburg.


We are currently building the third “super clinic” for Spay Virginia. This clinic will be a high volume, reduced cost spay/neuter clinic to service animal welfare organizations, shelters and the limited income public. At it’s completion it will be sterilizing 18,000 per year and employ a staff of 15.

We had originally planned to rent a space. When nothing was available we decided to build. The clinic will be located on Route 24 in Campbell County, near the Route 29 intersection.

We are need of the following items:


Kitchen Cabinets (new or in excellent condition)
Commercial Vinyl Tile
ADA Bath Fixtures
Landscaping Materials

Adjustable Shelving (for storage room)
Antibacterial Lotion
Buckets (3)
Cleaning Supplies (mops, buckets, brooms, sponges, etc)
Coffee Machine (new)
Countertop (8 foot long)
Door Mat (heavy duty rubber)
Fire Extinguisher (4)
First Aid Kit
Gift Cards to home improvement stores
Hand Soap
Laundary Baskets (4 new)
Office Supplies (new surge protectors, paper, pens, notepads, sharpies, etc)
Outdoor Hoses (2)
Paper Towels
Picnic Table
Plastic Spray Bottles (10 new)
Push Lawn Mower
Rubbing Alcohol (20 bottles)
Scrub brushes (10)
Sinks, restroom (one-ADA approved, one-Standard)
Standard Shower Stall
Step Ladder
Toilets (one-ADA approved, one-Standard)
Toilet Paper
Tools
Trash bags (35 gallon, 40 gallon, kitchen)
Wet/Dry Vac

List updated 8/27/06

Outstanding efforts in your area
The wish list is certainly do-able; I hope that they can advertise in the local papers. It would be great if some of the local schools made it a project to collect some of the items listed. It wouldn't be difficult - even if each student brought in just 1 roll of paper towels, the donation would quickly add up to 20-30 rolls.
I'm glad that you included the wish list - it should be a simple thing for many business to add an extra box of Staples multi-purpose paper to their next order, and have it delivered to the spay clinic.
Sending {{{{prayers and vibes}}}}that the new clinic is up and running soon, and that the blessings just overfow

Cool!! If you can get the newspaper to do a story on it it should really help with publicity--unless you have more cats than you want already, that is.

18,000 per year... sounds like quite a dent in the problem. But there are a lot of cats out there.

I was told it takes 7 years for a spay/neuter clinic to really make an impact. This particuliar area has a very HIGH euthanization rate so it is desperately needed.
