SAAW FAYETTEVILLE

Although only organized since the fall of 2005, SAAW Fayetteville has made tremendous progress. During that first year, SAAW Fayetteville provided financial assistance to sterilize 170 cats and dogs. This year, 2007, we have managed to assist in getting nearly 700 spayed/neutered. The movement continues to grow. We envision great things for Lincoln County.

SAAW Fayetteville in Lincoln County has the following programs:

Spay/Neuter Assistance - SAAW provides a $20.00 co pay for Lincoln County residents on any government assistance program (food stamps, section 8 housing, etc.) or who qualify as low-income.

Spay/Neuter Discount - SAAW provides a 25% discount to Lincoln County residents contacting us for a spay/neuter assistance.

Spay Momma - Lincoln County pet owners who surrender a litter of kittens or puppies to the Lincoln County Animal Shelter may receive a SAAW certificate entitling them to get the Momma spayed for free.

Snip & Tip - SAAW participates in the Snip & Tip Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Program sponsored by the Greater Wilson County Humane Society. This program modeled after the nationwide Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) Program occurs on the third Sunday of every month. SAAW volunteers work with feral cat colony caretakers to trap feral and semi-wild cats and take them to the designated surgery where they are sterilized, given a rabies shot, flea treatment, and checked for ear mites. Since Sept 2005, over 200 feral cats from Lincoln County have been sterilized and returned to their colony site.

Critter Fixer Spay/Neuter Clinic - The big goal for 2008 is to open a low-cost spay/neuter clinic that would serve low-income pet owners, animal welfare (shelters, rescue, and animal control) organizations, feral, semi-feral, and barn cats in Lincoln County and the surrounding counties. There are a dozen or so such clinics scattered throughout the state, but none within 50 miles of Lincoln County. A low-cost clinic located in this area is sorely needed.

Donate to our capital campaign and help us make it happen.
