Neuter the New Year 2023
Steel Valley Woofstock for the second year in a row sponsored Neuter the New Year.
This program allowed cat owners to get their male cats neutered for $24.00.
This year we partnered with the Youngstown State University Pre-Vet Club and their Instructor, Dr. Tina, to do this project.
This partnership not only offered an affordable neuter for pet owner cats but allowed the YSU PV students to get valuable hands-on experience working with veterinarians and cats.
Students assisted with physical examinations, drawing blood for FeLV/FIV testing, giving medications and vaccinations, assisting in surgery, and recovering cats from anesthesia.
Veterinary Schools required students applying to have hands-on experience and our service partner graciously allowed the students to come in and gain that experience working with veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and assistants.
It was a win-win situation and that day 67 sets of jingle bells were removed from male cats, one was found to be a female. She was spayed. We also had a dog spay.
