Hip to Snip

Why Spay or Neuter your Pet? Because it is totally Hip to Snip!

Grab a seat on the "Hip to Snip Trip" on July 20!

From the RVSPCA website, information on the upcoming "Hip to Snip" trip:

Is your cat's howling driving you crazy? Does your dog use any opportunity to escape the yard and run the neighborhood? Take advantage of this low cost alternative to irritating behaviors, possible health issues, and unwanted litters of puppies and kittens.

Your pet may not be broken, but he or she does need to be fixed! Jump aboard the Hip to Snip Trip and protect your dog or cat from unwanted offspring and certain types of illness. The most important thing to know about spaying and neutering is that it saves lives!

Mountain View Humane is offering transport services to its low cost spay/neuter clinic in Christiansburg from Roanoke on the third Wednesday of each month. Transport vehicle leaves from the parking lot of the RVSPCA.

Appointments are being accepted for the next transport. Call 540-339-9523 or email hiptosnip@rvspca.org for more information and/or an appointment.

Easy Volunteer Job in Roanoke, Virginia

What an exciting and easy way to help the Roanoke Valley SPCA! I just received an email from Ruth Pierce, the Volunteer Coordinator for RVSPCA.

She is looking for volunteers to play with the kitties that are available for adoption and being shown to potential adopters at Petco.

From her email:

If you are available in either the morning or evening, one day a week through the month of June, the cats would really appreciate you coming by to clean and play with them. This is a great opportunity for some of our younger volunteers and their parents to volunteer for the animals. Please give me a call or email if you are able to help.
As always, thanks for helping us help the animals.

Matilda

In recognition of "Adopt a Shelter Cat" month, the Roanoke Valley SPCA is asking all of their FB fans to change their profile pics to their favorite feline.

I am changing my profile pic to an available cat at the RVSPCA, "Matilda." What a gorgeous creature!

I firmly believe that everyone needs a cat in his life.

To adopt Matilda or one of her roommates at the RVSPCA, please start by going to www.rvspca.org to view the Animal Gallery.
