Today volunteers from YAPA, volunteer friends of Planned Pethood Merida, and local Boy Scouts, as well as a group of veterinarians, technicians, and veterinary students came together to spay and neuter 46 local cats as a part of Planned Pethood Merida's Cat-Nip Spay and Neuter Campaign.
Today's campaign was very successful, and shows a changing and growing concern for health, welfare, and caring for pets; in which YAPA is proud to participate!
