Our Current Programs: Spay/Neuter Voucher Program: Thanks to grant funding from the Petco Foundation as well as private donations and volunteer fundraising efforts, we have spay/neuter vouchers available to any local resident, regardless of income. Vouchers are used like a coupon for $35 off a cat spay or neuter or $50 off a dog spay or neuter. Call 615-464- 6104 to get a voucher code prior to making an appointment with either the Animal Clinic of Smithville, 615-597-1726 or DeKalb Animal Clinic, 615-597-1950. Vouchers are available as long as funding lasts. Go Petco! Mobile Spay Station Visits to DeKalb County, TN: Freckles' Friends sponsors the New Leash on Life Mobile Spay Station visits to DeKalb County. The spay station provides spay/neuter surgeries to pets in low-income families for a donation of only what they can afford. You must be on one of the following programs to qualify: Food Stamps, WIC, Public Housing, Disability, SSI, Families First or Medicaid. Call 615-464-6104 or 615-444-1196 to schedule an appointment for your pets. There is no surcharge if your pet is in heat or pregnant. Also, kittens and puppies can be spayed or neutered as long as they weigh 2 pounds or more and they should be at least 3 months old. This program is made possible by grant funding from the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee and the Animal Welfare Fund. For more information go to www.cfmt. org or www.GivingMatters.com. TNR (Trap, Neuter and Release) Program: Thanks to Dr. Burke, we no longer have to wait for a clinic day to trap feral cats and get them neutered. Now we can take them to Dr. Burke as we can trap them and he will perform the surgery. After their recovery, the cats are returned to their territory and released. This method has been proven effective in reducing the number of feral cats in many areas of the country. Thanks to the Petco Foundation for funding for this program! We also have a volunteer that will transport feral cats to the New Leash on Life Snip and Tip program one weekend each month. If you know of a feral cat colony that needs to be trapped, please call 615-464-6104. VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED to help trap these cats around the county. Call 615- 464-6104 if you can help. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to Freckles' Friends so that we can continue these programs as well as our fund-raising efforts towards a shelter. |
