“In 2018 stevens county care care provided mobile low cost spay/neuter services for 1586 cats at their one sunday a month mobile clinic. These cats belong to lower income residents of the county. Stevens county has one of the higher rates of unemployment and lower income averages in the state of washington. Thanks to and because of generaous bequests, public support and donations, no one is turned away for lack of financial resources. There is no animal control in the county and cats in this area are of no particular concern to the average resident. In addition to servicing companion cats, the group is able to assist in the trapping of feral cats which are then spayed or neutered and returned to their colony. Feral cats also receive basic vaccinations, including rabies. This service for feral cats is by donation and completely free when the person responsible for the welfare of the colony is unable to contribute. This a a common occurence in large colonies. Another special program offered is a half price discount for litters of kittens when brought with the mother cat to the clinic. This helps accomplish the assoication's gooal of fewer unwanted cats by assuring kittens are altered prior to going to new homes. Cats from the two local indian reservations are fixed for free providng the owner will pay for the state required rabies vaccination. Stevens county cat care only pays licensed professional veterinarians and veterinary technicians. An average of 4 to 5 doctors and up to 5 licensed techs work each clinic. Also, there are visiting veterinarians that attend and work a clinic to become more attuned to animal welfare issues and observe what a high volume spay/neuter clinic can accomplish while at the same time follow standard veterinary practices. All other services are performed by trained volunteers. Each clinic will have between 35-40 volunteers to provide all the necessary auxiliary services.”
