Richmond, Va. Beginning in January, the Richmond SPCA is providing free spay/neuter surgeries to owned cats within SPCA service areas through March 31. This promotion was designed to ease cat overpopulation during the spring breeding season.

All residents in Richmond, Hanover, Henrico, Chesterfield and Goochland who own a cat are eligible to receive the free procedures, including rabies vaccination, regardless of household income. By providing the services for free, the SPCA hopes to prevent the birth of hundreds of orphaned kittens.

That is wonderful!

I would like to see communities enlist the local vets to donate one day a month to provide free spay/neuter services. If enough vets would agree, then just think of how many pets could be serviced. It seems like this would be good PR for the vets and could increase their client base, as many grateful pet owners would return to that vet for shots and routine care.
