Three animal welfare teams in North Texas are working collectively to prepare for “kitten season” because the state’s temperatures rise and spring begins.
Because of the longer days and hotter climate this time of 12 months, cats usually tend to grow to be pregnant, which raises the variety of kittens within the neighborhood and at space shelters, based on Best Friends Animal Society.
To assist struggle overpopulation within the wild, three neighborhood animal welfare organizations are working collectively to supply a Free Community Cat Fix Event at Dallas Animal Services (DAS) headquarters on Friday, April 12.

The teams hope to spay or neuter 100 cats in the course of the daylong occasion. In addition to the surgical procedure, each cat may even obtain a free microchip, ear tip, and rabies vaccination.
“We’re committed to helping reduce pet overpopulation through high-volume, high-quality spay/neuter events that have a significant impact on the number of homeless pets,” Ed Jamison, CEO of Operation Kindness stated.
There isn’t any cap on the variety of cats every person could carry and areas are available on a first-come, first-served foundation. Cats have to be saved in humane traps or carriers with laborious sides; one cat per entice or provider is required. Check-in begins at 7 a.m. and pickup is at 3:30 p.m.
“We are pleased to collaborate to serve the community cats of Dallas by loaning our two spay and neuter mobile vehicles. These vehicles will increase the number of surgeries performed on-site, ultimately making a greater impact on the welfare of community cats,” Chris Luna, JD, president & CEO of the SPCA of Texas stated.
