Free Spay/Neuter All August!

On Saturday I went over to Lynne’s house, or more specifically, the headquarters of Project Purr (a.k.a. her kitchen table). Lynne and Margaret had decided to send out notices to about 80 people about the free spay/neuter for August, and combine it with a survey. The people we were sending the notices to had used Project Purr’s spay/neuter program in the past year, and lived in Watsonville or Freedom. We were hoping that the people would be inspired by the free spay/neuter to trap more, and that they could give us some feedback about the process. Also, it gave them a chance to ask for help from Project Purr if they needed it. Lynne and Margaret very cleverly found a way to save paper and money- the paper was folded into thirds and taped, so it became it’s own envelope. I ended up taking 2/3 of the fliers home, to finish stamping and addressing.

When I was at Lynne’s house, we picked up four kitties from the animal shelter. There was a fairly calm, tuxedo male, and a family of a mom with two kittens. The mom was a very freaky tortie, one of the kittens was an orange and white male, and the other kitten was an adorable calico, who actually let me pet her through the cage. We transferred the kitties into hutches, and now they are awaiting new homes as garden cats.
