By taking the simple steps to spay and neuter animals, this keeps unwanted animals from being born and brought into shelters where they may possibly be euthanized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a current Veterinarian shortage at SPCA Florida, the partnership with TLC PetSnip will not only assist surgery needs at SPCA Florida but also the community. On a weekly basis, TLC PetSnip will spay and neuter community cats brought in through SPCA Florida\u2019s Community Cat Trapper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are glad SPCA Florida reached out for our help with\ncommunity cat sterilizations. The community and feral cat population in Polk\nCounty directly affect the high euthanasia rate at Polk County Animal Control\nand we are working to provide solutions that prevent unwanted litters of\nkittens from entering the shelter. With SPCA Florida being able to trap and\nrelease and us doing the surgery we can wait to see the community-wide impact.\nWe feel that working together as a community is the only way we are going to\nachieve a no-kill Polk County,\u201d; said Emily Lorenzano, TLC PetSnip Executive\nDirector<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Community cat sterilization is a key component to becoming a\nNo Kill County. The No Kill Polk County Initiative involves many partnerships\nand collaborative efforts within local organizations, such as SPCA Florida and\nTLC PetSnip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSPCA Florida is grateful to TLC PetSnip for their veterinary assistance. Many of the citizens SPCA Florida help are elderly and need help to sterilize their cats. By working together, we can provide seniors and those with disabilities the support they need, while reducing unwanted births,\u201d said Shelley Thayer, Executive Director, SPCA Florida.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPCA Florida and TLC PetSnip of Lakeland have joined forces to combat Polk County\u2019s animal overpopulation.
