Meow Mobile Offers Subsidized Spay/Neuter Surgeries to Cats

Last month, I went to Denver Dumb Friends League's seventh annual CatFest and had a great time!

They had their Meow Mobile, which offers low-cost, subsidized spay/neuter surgeries for cats in underserved areas of the community, sitting in the parking lot.  I decided to go check it out.

The operating room inside the Meow Mobile. 

The operating room inside Meow Mobile actually has two operating tables so that two cats can be spayed or neutered at the same time.

All of the veterinarians who perform the surgeries are licensed to do so in the state of Colorado.  Some of the veterinarians are volunteers from private practices and others are staff members at Denver Dumb Friends League.

At the time of this writing, Dumb Friends League is offering free spay and neuter surgeries and age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies and distemper) to cats.  There are no qualifications you need to meet to get these free services.

You can see a schedule for the Meow Mobile here.  Be sure to call the mobile help line at 720-241-7098 the morning you intend to have your cat spayed or neutered to find out about any changes or cancellations.

You can find pre- and post-surgery instructions for your cat here.

After seeing how sanitary and organized the Meow Mobile is, I am confident in recommending its services to the residents of the Denver metro area.

Denver Dumb Friends League Hosts 7th Annual CatFest

On July 11 from 10a.m. to 3p.m., Denver Dumb Friends League will be hosting the seventh annual CatFest!

This year, CatFest will feature:

• Hundreds of adoptable kittens and cats waiting for forever homes.
• Waived adoption fees on all cats one year of age and older.  Each adopter will also receive a goodie bag to take home with their new cat. 
• Meow Market - Dozens of vendors selling food and cat-related products.
• Fun photo opportunities.
• Colorado Cats Count T-shirts, car magnets, and more will also be available for purchase (I've got to snag one of those shirts this year)!
• Clicker training demonstrations.

Last year's CatFest was the first time I attended, and it was a ton of fun!  I plan on going again this year. 

Last year, I met a cool cat named Hobbes and nearly took him home with me.  I'm sure he found a wonderful and loving home.  Who wouldn't fall in love with a friendly and adorable orange mancat?  Hobbes is pictured to the left, but he didn't want to look at the camera for me.  Denver Dumb Friends League successfully adopted out over 200 cats at last year's CatFest.  I'd love to see them adopt even more this year!  You can see some of the cats available for adoption here.  

If you're in the Denver area, I hope you'll check out this cat-tastic event.
