The "I'm pet friendly" grant has helped 183 cat owners sterilize their pets thru PAWS. PAWS feels that each time a litter is prevented, the local shelters can do more with their resources. PAWS also feels that potential cat owners will chose to adopt because the number of "free kittens" ads should be reduced due to the sterilizations.

Please consider this option at your next renewal, and show your support for the pets.
