Attended the Target Zero meeting Monday Oct 10, 2016 and left with a feeling of Hope for Memphis Animal Welfare. If you did not attend, go to their website and read about the organization. It provided a means for all of us to work together. The program uses a pyramid plan. The first level is Shelter and Public Policy. Alexis Amorose and the City of Memphis leaders will be discussing policies. The second layer to build on is Targeted Spay Neuter. We the citizens can work on this with 2 great organizations that are already dedicated to spay neuter-Mid-South Spay Neuter Services (MSSNS) and the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County (HSMSC). If you are interested and want to work as a team collaborating with both these groups on spay neuter please leave a message and I will follow up with you. I plan to schedule a meeting to sign up volunteers. The more volunteers the more we can accomplish together. Please let's all work as a TEAM.

Free Zeuterin at Mid South Spay Neuter! What is Zeuterin? Its a procedure to neuter male puppies, age 3 months-10 months, that doesn't require surgery. Its an injectable, permanent sterilization process. This is a great alternative for those dog owners who have concerns about their dog's "manhood". Your dog will still have testosterone and have the appearance of an un-neutered male dog. If you know anyone with a male puppy, age 3-10 months, who is maybe a little afraid or hesitant to schedule a neutering surgery, please let them know that this is FREE! Limited time only. Mid South Spay Neuter Services, 901-324-3202.

Call for Volunteers! Is the exciting life of a cat-trapper something you have always wondered about, but were too afraid to look into? Well here's your chance! Bluff City Feral Friends is in need of volunteers who are willing to help with cat-trapping for TNR. Its ok if you have never trapped cats! We'll show you how, and we can provide traps. Even if you only have time to do it once, it would help alot.
Its a great way to help cats, and help the pet overpopulation problem.

All you need to do is help trap the cat at the location. Someone else (me) can provide the recovery site and transportation to & from the spay/neuter surgery.
We also need volunteers to go to colonies and leave food for the cats, and we can always use donations of food, as well.
If anyone can help, or knows someone who might be interested, let me know!
thanks!

We are SO proud of our amazing vet clinic team who spayed and neutered 91 ANIMALS in the past seven days! A few of these were our own HSMSC residents, but the vast majority were community animals done through our Project STOP (Solving the Overpopulation Problem) program. We can't wait until we get our mobile spay/neuter unit up and running! Learn more and donate toward our spay/neuter efforts here: http://memphishumane.org/outreach/spay-a-neuter
