67. I know that this is a 'fun' story, but

in many places it costs $100 to $200 to spay or neuter an animal. And many shelters ask for a fee before they'll take in an animal, it is not uncommon that it would cost $25 or more to 'leave' an animal at a shelter.

I am not condoning what this guy did, but something has to be done about fees.

I know I'm trying to make friends with 2 cats that were left by owners, so I can get them spayed or neutered. They don't come around all the time, so I have to make them come on schedule, to get them when I can get an appointment with the Cat Coalition. One may not make it much longer, I don't know if she/he is old or in pain, but it has that look like it's giving up.
