Cat Neuter-A-Thon Breaks HSOG Records!
Dr. Paula Watkins and HSOG staff members were able to perform 52 cat neuters at our first ever cat neuter-a-thon — the most ever at our facility. The special event offered owners of male cats a reduced price of $25 for the neuter surgery and rabies and distemper vaccinations. We are so grateful to area cat owners who took advantage of this opportunity and for helping us in our campaign to reduce the animal overpopulation in our community.

600 Miles to Home
This documentary was filmed in mid-July 2013.
