ENAH’s Spay/Neuter Project Project
Strategy (in progress since 06/01/03). This
is how the project works: 1.
Interested residents of the Wisconsin counties of Lafayette, Green
or Iowa Counties contact ENAH to request a
free spay or neuter surgery for their cat(s), either by writing to 6410
County N, South Wayne, WI, 53587. For as long as funds remain, the resident will be approved.
(see “Policy Against Discrimination”).
2.
A board member of ENAH notifies the appropriate participating veterinarian
of the resident’s choice regarding the spay/neuter approval.
[ENAH requires all surgeries to be performed by veterinarians
participating in the project.] 3.
The resident then contacts the veterinarian and arranges the
surgery. 4.
The veterinary clinic bills ENAH for the surgery. There
are approximately 1,400 farms in Lafayette County1.
Many, many of them have multiple cats, often numbering in the
double digits. It has been
proven that euthanasia does not resolve the cat overpopulation problem2,
nor is it humane. ENAH
empathizes with farm families who have multiple cats, often from people
dumping animals off at their farms, and cannot afford to spay or neuter
them all. ENAH believes that
a factor critical to the success of this spay/neuter project is to target
multiple-cat farms and sterilize the entire cat population at that farm.
Sterilization of all cats on each farm entered into the project
will help stabilize the cat populations on those farms.
