Wisconsin cat owners who can't afford to get
their pets neutered will have access to low-cost services next
month as part of national Spay Day USA.

The Wisconsin Humane Society says shelters across the state will
participate. The event will be Tuesday, Feb. 22.

Angela Speed is a spokeswoman for the organization. She says on
that day, owners will be charged veterinary fees on a sliding scale
depending on family income and other factors. She says the
procedure could be as cheap as $10.

The Wisconsin Humane Society also offers a similar year-round
neutering-assistance program. That's for owners of both dogs and
cats, and charges are also based upon income.
But Speed encourages cat owners to take advantage of Spay Day
because more volunteer veterinarians and techs will be available.
