Police offer free spay, neuter coupons

On Feb. 28, spay/neuter coupons were available at the Hollister Police Animal Care and Services shelter between the hours of 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., according to a statement.

According to the HPD:

On the last Tuesday of every February, World Spay Day shines a spotlight on the power of affordable, accessible spay/neuter to save the lives of companion animals, community (feral and stray) cats, and street dogs who might otherwise be put down in shelters or killed on the street. The 23rd annual World Spay Day is February 28, 2017.

To help inspire pet owners to take personal responsibility for preventing unwanted puppies and kittens, the Hollister Police Animal Care and Services will offer spay and neuter certificates valued at $ 75 off any spay or neuter beginning February 28th, 2017. Certificates can be used at any vet in Hollister. Supplies are limited so don’t hesitate.

When you consider that two unaltered cats and their offspring can produce 420,000 cats, and two unaltered dogs and their offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in just six years, there is simply no reason not to spay or neuter. These staggering numbers cost cities and counties thousands of dollars each year, and more than 5 million animals are euthanized in the United States alone.

To obtain your spay / neuter coupon please stop by the Animal Care and Services located at 1331 South Street in Hollister on February 28th between the hours of 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. or for more information contact the Hollister Police Animal Care and Services Department at (831) 636-4320
