February is nationally recognized as “Spay/Neuter Awareness Month.” The purpose is to encourage people to have their pets sterilized before the spring and summer months when there is a rampant overproduction of puppies and kittens. During that time most animal shelters experience an unmanageable increase in animal intake. Spay/neutering helps to decrease those numbers and saves pets’ lives.

During the month of February, Animal Allies in Spartanburg is offering “Beat the Heat” special $20 pricing for female cat spays — a $25 savings! Call (864) 576-6971 to schedule an appointment for your cat to participate in their free transport from Greenwood to their low-cost clinic. You must mention the special pricing ad at the time of scheduling your appointment.
