| What is CC-SNAP? | |
| CC-SNAP is a program designed to battle the cat over-population in Carleton County, New Brunswick by providing the financial assistance to spay and neuter cats from households most in need. Spay/neuter services are a vital part of the no-kill solution to the stray, homeless, and abandoned cat epidemic in Carleton County. | |
| How can you be involved? | |
| CC-SNAP will need continued financial support from members of the community to reduce cat over-population and homelessness that results in suffering of ownerless cats. You can help by Sponsoring a Spay through a monthly donation. Your donation goes directly toward helping low-income families afford spay/neuter srevices. | |
| Spay and Neuter Assistance | |
| CC-SNAP is providing assistance for residents of Carleton County, New Brunswick, who, due to financial limitations are unable to spay or neuter their cats. This program is made possible through funds raised by volunteers and donations to CC-SNAP by our supporters, as well as the generosity of participating veterinarians. Participating veterinarians, CC-SNAP, and cat owners will share the expense of each surgery. The pet owner will be required to pay only $45 for their share of the cat spay or neuter. | |

No personal cheques will be accepted and no credit will be extended. The veterinary hospital will bill CC-SNAP for the balance of the cost of the procedure.

| ~ Surgery can be performed on cats 2.2 lbs and larger (ie: as young as about three months of age). | |
| ~ Additional services requested by the owner (ie: bloodwork, flea treatment, vaccinations, etc) must be paid for by the owner of the cat. The CC-SNAP program is designed to help with the expense of spays and neuters only. |

| ~ The veterinarian reserves the right to postpone surgery if the animal is not healthy enough to undergo the surgery. Standard surgical waivers are required to be signed before cats are admitted into the veterinary hospital. |
