New Developments
• Growing spay and neuter in the County: Thanks to a substantial grant from the
Margo T. Petrie Foundation, we have been able to make free spay and neuter
services available to more county residents than ever before. Since 2017, these
services have been available to residents with a household income of up to 400
percent of the Federal Poverty level rather than only 200 percent as well as residents
who receive public assistance.
• Working (Barn) Cat Program: With an initial grant from the Triad Foundation and
continuing donations, we launched and are continuing the Working (Barn) Cat
program as part of a broader effort to more humanely manage free-roaming cats.
This program helps county residents have working cats spayed or neutered,
vaccinated, licensed and microchipped at no charge.
