7 <br /> New Developments <br /> • Growing spay and neuter in the County: Thanks to a fourth substantial grant from <br /> the Margo T. Petrie Foundation, we were able to make free spay and neuter services <br /> available to more county residents in 2020. Since 2017, these services have been <br /> available to residents with a household income of up to 400 percent of the Federal <br /> Poverty level rather than only 200 percent as well as residents who receive public <br /> assistance. <br /> • Working (Barn) Cat Program: We launched the Working (Barn) Cat program in late <br /> 2017 as part of a broader effort to more humanely manage free-roaming cats. Thanks <br /> to a substantial multi-year grant from The Petco Foundation and a new, strong <br /> relationship with Independent Animal Rescue (IAR), we continued this program and <br /> helped county residents have working cats spayed or neutered, vaccinated, licensed <br /> and microchipped at no charge. <br /> f Est' <br /> 3 <br /> y . <br />
