Nearly 50 cats and dogs were either spayed or neutered during a free two-day clinic on Tinian, according to Saipan Cares for Animals.<\/p>\n
The animal welfare group told Saipan Tribune yesterday that a total of 48 cats and dogs were spayed (for females) or neutered (for males) at the Tinian Youth Center over the weekend. <\/p>\n
SCA president Beth Pliscou described the 48 surgeries within two days as a \u201chuge amount.\u201d She thanked Tinian Mayor Edwin Aldan\u2019s assistance.<\/p>\n
Next up is a spay and neutering clinic on Rota. It is going to be a four-day clinic starting this Sunday, April 21, to Wednesday, April 24.<\/p>\n
Pliscou is coordinating the outreach with Rota Mayor Efraim Atalig <\/p>\n
Pliscou added that she is planning a second trip to Tinian.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Tinian mayor made it really great when we went there and we were able to do a lot of surgeries. I would really like to go back in about a month,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Logistics such as the rental car and the hotel rooms for the veterinarian and the SCA staff were handled by the Tinian Mayor\u2019s Office. A similar set up is being arranged for the Rota visit.<\/p>\n
The Rota clinic would be accepting both cats and dogs.<\/p>\n
\u201cCats can have three litters of kittens a year. That could be like 30 kittens a year that one cat can produce,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
Aldan told Saipan Tribune that SCA staff reached out to his office about two weeks ago to set up the clinic. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe assisted in providing a space for them to operate, [as well as lent] staff from the Tinian Dog Control,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
