LOW-COST SPAY, NEUTER FOR CATS

The Clinico spay/neuter facility in Van Nuys is offering low-cost spay and neuter services for cats through Friday.

Services cost $15 for males and $25 for females.

The event focuses primarily on cats because of their ability to reproduce quickly, especially in the spring. When too many cats produce too many litters, shelters become overwhelmed and end up euthanizing kittens the very day they come in.

For an appointment, call 888-937-7295.

Clinico's Van Nuys clinic is at 14409 Vanowen St., Van Nuys. www.clinico.org.
