Pet Serialization May Solve the Overpopulation Crisis
To address what it calls “a staggering pet-overpopulation crisis,” the Kentucky Humane Society plans a new push, starting next week, to encourage pet owners to have cats and dogs sterilized.
Starting Jan. 8, the so-called Operation SNIP — for spay-neuter-incentive program — will encourage people to take animals to the society’s “pet resort” clinic at 13310 Magisterial Drive at Eastpoint Business Center near Anchorage on Thursdays and Sundays for low-cost spaying or neutering. In some cases, the procedures will be free.
Pet owners who want an appointment for spaying or neutering can call the society at 515-3148.
To promote Operation SNIP, the society now is offering vouchers when animals are left. The voucher means that if the person brings in another pet to get it spayed or neutered within a month, the procedure is free — and all the dropoff fees are redeemed.
Without a voucher, the clinic charges $45 to spay and $35 to neuter a cat and $55 to spay and $45 to neuter a dog. The prices include vaccinations.
