FFRC is working in conjunction with HumaneOhio.
We are committed to reduce the overpopulation problem of cats in Defiance and our area counties.
All spays/neuters are performed by qualified, licensed veterinarians. Each cat receives a physical exam and quality, 24-hour, pain medication.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Call FFRC at 419-393-2400 to set up an appointment. We will do this transport twice a month, usually the 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month. Drop offs/pick ups are both at FFRC. The drop off time is 5:30-6:00 AM. Pick up time is around 5:30 PM.
PRE-OP INSTRUCTIONS: No food after midnight if the animal is 4 months or older. No food after 6 AM if the cat is under 4 months old. They can have water.
Mama cats can be spayed when kittens are 6 weeks old. Kittens can be spayed/neutered when 2 pounds, usually that happens at 8 weeks of age.
Cats must be in a plastic crate (size appropriate) or a humane trap. NO WIRE CAGES OR SOFT SIDED CARRIERS. One cat per crate/trap. WILD CATS MUST COME IN A HUMANE TRAP.
Cats will receive a small green tattoo on their underbelly near the umbilicus to identify that they have been fixed. If the cat is an outdoor cat/stray/wild, the left ear will be tipped (a universal sign that this cat has been neutered/spayed).
PAYMENT IS DUE AT THE TIME OF DROP OFF, BEFORE LOADING ONTO THE TRANSPORT BUS (CASH OR CHECK MADE OUT TO FFRC).
