A veterinarian has offered to volunteer her time in participation with the McKee Foundation to hold an "almost free" spay and castration week in Jaco Beach. Katja Bader from the foundation is scheduling appointments by phone or email for your own cats and dogs that need to be operated, as well as any strays that you are able to bring in. The appointments will be scheduled to start February 2nd, 2010 and may span up until the 7th depending on how many animals are brought in.

2643 4012In addition to the vet's time and labor, stitches and gloves have also been generously donated, so all that will be charged is c2,500 ($5) per animal to cover the cost of anesthesia, antibiotics, and syringes. For anyone who can't afford the c2,500 (example for those bringing in stray animals), the Foundation will also cover those costs.

Please contact Katja by calling (506) 2643 4012 or sending her an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

This is an excellent opportunity that members of the community should take advantage of, especially with strays as the operations normally cost in excess of c20,000 (~$40) to perform.
