Support Jane's Spaying and Vaccination Costs

Hi! Neighborhood cat lady here!

I’m hoping to find 30 donors willing to donate $10 apiece to help pay for the cost of spaying and vaccinating Jane, the cat in this picture.

Jane lives around the block and recently had a litter of kittens. We were able to find one of the kittens and get him placed in his forever home. We don’t know where the other kittens are.

The same day, a neighbor trapped Jane and brought her to my house and left her with me. She was definitely feral and we all agreed we needed to get her spayed as soon as possible.

I have been able to trap over a dozen local cats and get them fixed at no cost, but it takes weeks to get an appointment. I didn’t have time to wait this time, so we arranged to have her spayed and vaccinated the next day. The veterinarian recommended that we release her the next day. I didn’t feel right doing this so she spent a couple of days resting and recuperating at my house.

After 3 days, I released her and she went back to the area where we first found her.

There are way too many feral cats in our neighborhood. Some of the neighbors, like me, feed them and give them shelter in our yards. Very few of them are able to get them trapped, neutered, and released, so when they find a stray cat they tend to bring them to me.

This is the first time I’ve had to pay for the cost of spaying cat that wasn’t mine. We had to move forward quickly because we knew that Jane would be pregnant right away if we didn’t hurry.

The total cost was $610. $310 has already been paid for by my dear friend and myself. If I can raise another $300 that would go far in defraying the cost.

Please do not feel obligated, but if you’re willing to donate, we would all appreciate it!

Thank you from me and my Van Nuys neighbors!
