Current Status From Kern County Animal Services - August 1, 2013
We have reached our goal of 2600 cats as of the last clinic date that was held on July 23, 2013 which means we are finished with surgeries. We could not have accomplished this project without the support and help of many wonderful people along the way including all of you as well as the Cat People, OKRA and Friends of the Kern County Animal Shelters Foundation.
Together we have saved literally thousands of community cat lives and helped to put the Department on the path to future live-saving endeavors. I am sure that many of you are asking what the next steps will be at this time. Currently, we have to compile data from this grant and submit to PetSmart to close out the grant. Our goal is to apply for a new grant with a new zip code to continue this program. The great news is that PetSmart has informed us that we can add the 93306 into the new grant and still be able to take some of the cats that did not get caught into the clinics. Once we have been awarded the new grant, we will again promote on Facebook, our website and in the media as well as reaching out to the public for their assistance again. We look forward to that hopefully in the near future.
