Elderly’s care for pets get
help
Special to The Monitor
GUN BARREL CITY–If you are or know someone who is elderly and has
difficulty caring for their pet, Friends of the Animals at Cedar Creek
Lake is beginning a project with volunteers to assist.
The object of this project is to allow the person to keep their pet with
them and not have to relinquish it.
But sometimes a little assistance is needed to accomplish that goal.
Volunteers will help with litter box scooping, getting to the grocery
store for pet food, putting out fresh water – and always assisting with
spay/neuter surgery if needed.
Volunteers can also drive the pet to the veterinarian’s office if
needed.
To notify Friends of a situation, call (903) 887-PETS (7387) or e-mail
sydney@friendsoftheanimals.org
Friends of the Animals is a non-profit organization running the low-cost
spay/neuter clinic in Gun Barrel City.
After being open for 4½ years, it has done more than 10,000 surgeries,
saving/preventing literally millions of little unwanted lives.
Surgery prices range from $25 for a male cat up to $65 for a giant breed
female dog.
Foundation grants can help with these costs for low-income families –
contact the Family Resource Center in Gun Barrel City Monday-Friday or
the Christian Life Center Food Pantry in Gun Barrel City
Tuesdays/Thursdays.
To schedule a surgery, to volunteer or for more information about the
organization, call 903-887-PETS (7387) or e-mail to the address sydney@friendsoftheanimals.org
