The BC SPCA is offering spay/neuter grants to the province's communities to help address the issue of pet overpopulation. Through several private donations designated to the BC SPCA for spay/neuter programs, the society is providing $87,500 in grants in 2015 - $80,000 or cats and $7,500 for dogs and rabbits.
Now in its third year, the program allocates funds to registered animal charities and non-profits, municipalities, veterinarians, BC SPCA branches, First Nations governments and First Nations tribal councils. Successful applicants must meet specific criteria and be able to administer the grant.
The BC SPCA spends $2 million annually on spay/neuter initiatives across the province, including the provision of free and low-cost spay/neuter operations through SPCA clinics in Vancouver, Prince George and Kamloops. Addressing the massive homeless cat issue in B.C. is a major focus of the BC SPCA's five-year Strategive Plan says Executive Director, Craig Daniell.
The deadline to apply for a BC SPCA grant is Dec. 31, 2014. For more information, visit www.spca.bc.ca.
