Spay/Neuter Kittens for only $20 in June 2014

PetSmart Charities Grant provides for 100 spay/neuter surgeries at HSHV

Kittens and puppies can go into heat as early as 4 and 5 months old

 Sponsored by PetSmart Charities® “Precious, Not Parents” campaign offers $20 spay/neuter surgeries for puppies and kittens under 6 months old

They may be just babies, but kittens as young as 4 months and puppies as young as 5 months are old enough to get pregnant and have their first litter just two months later.  “These precious babies shouldn't be parents at 5 and 6 months old,” says Deb Kern, HSHV Marketing Director.

That’s why HSHV, with funding provided by PetSmart Charities, the largest funder of animal welfare efforts in North America, is introducing the “Precious, Not Parents” campaign. Through the “Precious, Not Parents,” campaign, HSHV will provide $20 spay and neuter surgeries for puppies and kittens under six months of age during the month of June 2014. NOTE: Our Puppy appointments have already been filled but we have many appointments available for kittens in our veterinary clinic.

Some pet parents may worry that their pet is too young for this procedure, but spaying and neutering is safe and easy for kittens and puppies as young as eight to 10 weeks old, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. In fact, HSHV has performed thousands of pediatric spay/neuter surgeries over the years.

“Many owners put off the procedure and wait until the puppy or kitten is six to eight months old,” says Kern. “But by then, a litter of puppies or kittens can be born.”

This special $20 rate is even less than the HSHV’s normal low-cost price and is available to all residents of Washtenaw County. Pet parents who wish to take advantage of this offer must mention the “Precious, Not Parents” campaign when they call to schedule their appointment. The campaign is based on availability.

HSHV will provide 100 “Precious, Not Parents,” sterilizations for $20 in June. Please visit www.hshv.org or call 1-888-4748349 for more information or to schedule an appointment.

PetSmart Charities’ “Precious, Not Parents” campaign provides more than $593,000 to spay/neuter clinics to fund affordable, high-quality spay and neuter surgeries for more than 12,000 puppies and kittens across the nation during the month of June, 2014.
