UCAN and the Cincinnati Pet Food Pantry will be hosting Cincinnati's inaugural observance of InternationalHomeless Animals Day on Saturday, Aug. 21, 2010 from 7pm to 10 pm at the Overlook at Twin Lakes in Eden Park. This event is intended to raise awareness of the serious problem of pet overpopulation in our community and the importance of spaying and neutering.
Everyone is welcome and we especially encourage all animal rescue and animal welfare organizations to participate in this event. There is no cost and groups are free to bring folding tables, banners, signs, brochures, etc. Donation jars are allowed, however our permit at Twin Lakes will not allow you to sell merchandise. If your group would like to bring animals available for adoption, please just let us know in advance. |
UCAN and SCOOP to Fix Feral Cats in Middletown Mobile Home Park An organized effort by SCOOP (Save Cats and Obliterate Overpopulation) and volunteer trappers will soon stop a colony of over 100 cats and kittens from growing even bigger. The manager at a Middletown mobile home park contacted SCOOP for help and soon volunteers will begin the TNR process.
After being trapped, the UCAN van will transport the cats to the clinic where they will be spayed or neutered and vaccinated. They will be returned to the park where they will be fed and allowed to live without reproducing. UCAN is providing part of the funding for the project. |
