New Developments <br /> <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 /> <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.
