ABACO SPAY and NEUTER

Treasure Cay is the home of the Abaco Spay and Neuter Mobile Clinic. In the two years since it's introduction the Mobile Clinic has provided logistical support to Abaco Shelter's monthly Spay and Neuter Clinics. This Spay and Neuter program significantly addresses the over population of dogs and cats in Abaco. Many dogs in and around the Treasure Cay area have been treated or rescued as a part of this program. Although Abaco Spay and Neuter has no specific funding for cats, upwards of 60 cats have also been trapped in Treasure Cay and treated in recent months.

Thank-you to all of the volunteers for their time and effort.

For anyone who would like to contribute, donations can be made on the 'Abaco Shelter' or 'Abaco Spay and Neuter' Face Book pages. We need your help, Thanks !
