Offaly SPCA 4.08

Spaying & Neutering
Its priorities include promoting the spaying/neutering of dogs and cats, in order to reduce the numbers of unwanted pups and kittens. Financial assistance for these procedures is provided to qualified applicants. Costs involved are met from Dept. of Agriculture grants, public donations and proceeds of fund raising activities.

Shelters
The Society does not have any official shelter facilities so it relies heavily on individual members to ‘foster’ stray or abandoned animals. Chief outgoings are veterinary fees, telephone charges, cat & dog food, and insurance/affiliation. Assistance is provided to help meet costs of accommodating animals in care but all of the time involved and much of the financial outlay is contributed on a voluntary basis.

Feral Cats
During the coming year special efforts will be made to tackle the problems posed by colonies of feral cats in ‘hot spots’ throughout the county. Many of these are disease ridden and pose a serious threat to the health of domestic cats.
