(Miami-Dade County, FL) -- In an effort to help control the cat overpopulation,  Miami-Dade County Commissioner Sally A. Heyman, Miami-Dade Animal Services Department, Humane Society of Broward County and The Cat Network have joined forces to offer a free spay/neuter service on Sunday, July 25th at the Highland Oaks Park located at 20300 NE 24th Avenue, Miami, FL 33179.  Local veterinarians will be donating their time to perform the spay and neuter surgeries. Please call (305) 805-1603 to make an appointment.

Participating organizations encourage pet owners to spay or neuter their pets, as it helps reduce the number of unwanted dogs and cats and protects them from health issues that may develop later in life.

Requirements (NO EXCEPTIONS): Service for Miami-Dade and Broward County residents only. Proof of current rabies vaccination for cats over four (4) months of age.  A rabies vaccine can be obtained the day of surgery at no additional cost if needed. Veterinarian may decline surgery due to health reasons.  All cats will be ear tipped to identify them as sterilized.
 
The pet overpopulation crisis needs the entire community to work together in order to reduce the number of animals abandoned and ultimately euthanized at Animal Services.  In this partnership, our goal is to sterilize approximately 200 cats.
