June is Adopt-a-Cat Month

Temma Martin of Operation Pawpulation returns with Gina Sanzenbacher, who has two fosters ready for adoption. We'll go live on the KRCL IG so you can see Aurora (cat) and Princess (kitten).

  • Operation Pawpulation: "Our mission is to increase access to care by providing low-cost spay and neuter services for dogs and cats in our community. We strive to reduce pet overpopulation and alleviate the overcapacity crisis in Utah shelters and rescues. By improving the health and behavior of pets, we aim to ensure they remain beloved family members." To book an appointment, click here.

  • The Need: Rising Overpopulation: Since 2020, there has been a significant increase in unwanted litters due to limited access to affordable spay/neuter services. Shelter Overcapacity: More animals are entering shelters than leaving, leading to an overcapacity crisis not just in Utah but across the U.S. and Canada. Financial Barriers: Increasing costs at many clinics make essential surgeries inaccessible for many pet owners.

  • Spay It Forward Program: "While our prices are designed to be affordable, we welcome donations through our Spay It Forward program. Your contributions support free spay/neuter services for pet owners who cannot afford even the low-cost fees." To donate, click here.
