March 2010 – Since March, 2008, NJ Aid for Animals along with their partner Atlantic Co. SPCA has been spaying and neutering feral cats at the NJ Aid for Animals Sanctuary in S. Jersey
Celebrating their two year anniversary at the March Clinic, scores of volunteers show up to help trap, recover and comb and brush every cat before it is given back to the caregivers.
Trapping and releasing the feral cats and trying to socialize the ones we can, this project “For Ferals Only” has been a huge success.
Dr. Honey Rothberg led the charge in March, 2008 when she volunteered for our first Free Spay/Neuter Day in Camden City on the Big Rig. Little did she know TWO YEARS later to the day she would still be spaying and neutering feral cats!
It is because of her dedication and leadership of this endeavor that we have been able to keep it cohesive and effective.
This is a picture of one of our volunteers holding one of our little babies after it has come out of surgery.
A nurse monitors every cat coming out of surgery and caregivers only have to pay for the wholesale price of a suture or a shot.
This partnership has literally saved thousands of cats from being born. Inching toward our 1,000 mark, we hope to keep the project going for a long time.
