Thanks for Giving

We'd like to introduce you to Lorenzo. A group effort among several different groups over the past week resulted in all 23 of Lorenzo's cats getting spayed and neutered!

Fernando and his wife rescued four cats last year who were abandoned by a neighbor in his apartment complex. They brought them into their home and, while Lorenzo admits that he wasn't thrilled with the situation at first, he loves them all now. Unfortunately, they didn't know about the importance of spay/neuter and before they knew it the four cats had become 23!

That's when he approached Georgia SPCA for help. Georgia SPCA referred him to Planned PEThood and when he came for his first appointment with 8 female cats, we discovered that he had LOTS more at home, including 7 kittens. So, we got on the phone and started asking everyone we knew for money and help. Spay Georgia agreed to pay to spay and neuter the rest of Lorenzo's cats and Georgia SPCA agreed to take the kittens and find them good homes. In addition, all of your kind donations made it possible for us to also give each adult cat a flea treatment because they were suffering from flea allergies.

So, we are thankful for our friends this week. Without them we wouldn't have been able to help Lorenzo and his cats!

Happy Thanksgiving!

P.S. Here are some extra pics of all the kitties we fixed yesterday.

Holiday Photo Contest

So, we were crunching some numbers today and we figured out that if each of our Facebook friends donated just $5, we could raise enough to have one FREE SPAY DAY!! You guys have been so generous and we hate to ask you for more money, so we wanted there to be something in it for you as well. So we thought and we schemed and we concocted and we planned and here’s what we came up with:

HOLIDAY PHOTO CONTEST!!

The animal lover with the best Holiday-Themed photo of their pet will win a YEAR'S SUPPLY OF ADVANTAGE flea preventative!!!

How It Works

Simply e-mail your best holiday photo of your pet to info@PlannedPEThoodga.com and follow-up with a $5 donation either through our Paypal account, by mail, or by dropping by the clinic Monday – Thursday.

The deadline for entries is November 30, 2010.

Once the photo and entry fees/donations have been received, we will have fun Oohing and Awwwing until we decide on the Top 5 pics. This will be a completely un-biased and democratic process based on the following criteria:

• Elizabeth will give preference to big-headed tomcats
• Lynette prefers big, doofy dogs,
• Holley will decide based on their “lips”
• Doc Riva will probably choose the pics of dogs with kids since she has two little rugrats at home.

The Top 5 pics will then be posted on our Facebook page for everyone to vote on. The winners will be announced before Christmas and the prizes are, in our opinion, AMAZING!

Grand Prize: One Entire Year of Advantage Flea Preventative

AND a free Planned PEThood T-Shirt

4 Honorable Mentions: Free Planned PEThood T-Shirts!
