SCHEDULING IS ENDING TOMORROW for CAWL low cost spay/neuter clinic that will start on Tuesday JULY 15th - Saturday JULY 19th. We still have a few spots open for Dogs and Pet Cats. I’m currently in the process of contacting from the waitlist for stray/feral cats. It’s a very long list and space is limited. Please note that we’re no longer able to loan out any of our traps until we start getting some returned. If you’d like to be added to the waitlist for upcoming clinics August 25-29 & September 8-11 or inquire about availability for this clinic please call or text. 915-549-7575
Thank you

I’d like to address this complaint since I wasn’t given the opportunity because she didn’t allow comments after the first one apparently.
Mrs. Elida Rincon,
First of all your husband Frank is the one that chose to have your cat ear tipped. He wasn’t even on the schedule, he was a walk in ( which we usually never take because we’re so full) He was offered the pet price of $50 or the stray/feral price of $25. He was notified of the BIG ear tip before he made his decision. Our clinic gives big ear tips for a reason. “Outside” cats whether pets, stray or feral are constantly in danger of being trapped, hurt or killed in this community. This big ear tip is to notify the public that this cat is taken care of (spayed/neutered, vaccinated and has someone caring for it). He is the one that I dealt with, I did not have your number until you called me to complain later. HE started off rude to ME, when I called him to inform him of an emergency with your cat. I’m a volunteer and do not get paid to be “professional“ although I am until I’m disrespected, so yes I was rude right back to him. He’s not telling you the whole story, he did not communicate with you as I had to tell you what was going on. I even text you later to explain, but you ignored me. You’re only mad because after the way Frank treated us I told him we wouldn’t be helping with any of your other “stray” cats. Shame on you for bashing a nonprofit run mostly by volunteers to help our community with the overpopulation crisis.

And to Ms. Bea Lujan,
With all due respect I believe you have the wrong organization. I can’t find your name anywhere in our records. If you brought them in under a different name please let me know. Furthermore I cannot recall a time that we have ever needed to refund and/or pay a clients vet bill due to a mistake on our part. How is it that you called and called to no avail, but then got it paid for? Our veterinarian is a spay/neuter specialist and is very skilled and experienced, she’s literally done thousands of spay/neuters, there’s no way she could have messed up both of your cat’s surgeries. Please show proof before bashing a nonprofit organization that comes to our community out of the goodness of their hearts.

I offer to either of you ladies to call me at your convenience to further discuss these matters if you’re so inclined.

Roswell and Chaves County:

Our next clinic has been moved up to Tuesday July 15th - Saturday July 19th. My Scheduling process will most likely be from July 8-13th. If you’re already on my call list and don’t get a call/text from me by 7/13 then we filled up before I got to your name on the list, you’ll be at the top of the August 25-29th list. Please keep in mind that male dogs and male pet cats might have a longer wait as we prioritize females. Also stray/feral cats is usually very long as it’s a huge community issue.

*A MAJORITY OF OUR TRAPS ARE MISSING! PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE ANY OF OUR TRAPS PLEASE RETURN THEM DURING OUR NEXT CLINIC JULY 15-19 between 9:30am-4pm (7/15-7/18)& (7/19)8:30am-1pm. THANK YOU!

Please read all info below before asking for a spot to be sure that your dog qualifies and for pricing. Spots are on a first come first serve basis by TEXT ONLY 915-549-7575. I will not answer comments or fb messages and calls go to voicemail. Text with your preferred DATE, YOUR NAME and your dog’s approximate BREED,GENDER,AGE& NAME. ALL info must be given to obtain an appointment, if it’s not all given you won’t receive one. I won’t have time to ask again and wait for your reply. Thanks for understanding.

ATTENTION CAT OWNERS/AGENTS OF STRAY & FERAL CATS.
ALL SPOTS ARE FULL FOR THIS CLINIC. If you didn’t receive a call you’ve been transferred to the next list. The pet cat waitlist is longer for males and extremely long for stray/feral. I apologize, the overpopulation is so overwhelming, we’re doing the best we can.

Some things to make note of:
*Owned dogs and cats only. Stray/ferals (community cats) are allowed.
* Owner needs to be present to drop off their pet and sign consent form.
*No purebred/fancy bred dogs bought from a breeder, it’s counterproductive and we do not support this practice.
*No breeds with airway restrictions. Most fall under breeds bought from breeders anyway.
* We cannot take purebred Dobermans due to the high risk of Von Willebrand a blood disorder.
*We can’t take dogs or cats under 2 pounds in weight or 7 years and over. They don’t do well under anesthesia and are considered high risk.
*Pet cats & stray/tame cats in carriers will need a p*e pad or towel for them to sit on.
*Be sure to walk your dog to potty before dropping them off with us.
*All dogs will need to be picked up when I call that they’re ready. Usually sometime between 10am-12pm. We do not/cannot board dogs.
*Feral/wild cats must be in a trap. If you can’t handle them, we can’t either. carriers are too hard to access to sedate them.
* We do not provide e-collars/cones.
* We are no longer taking male dogs over 80lbs.

Dogs (up to 80lbs) $100 includes vaccines if needed.
Female dogs only (81lbs & over) $100+over weight charges.

At our last CAWL clinic we noticed that just about all Stray/Feral cats that came through were extremely dehydrated. If you’re feeding cats in your area or just see that they’re around please supply fresh water daily. With temperatures rising it’s only going to get worse. A water source is much more important than food as they can forage and hunt for food but cannot go days without water in a dry climate. Thank you!

Roswell New Mexico Public service announcement:

At our CAWL clinic last week we had several dogs come through with a tick borne disease. Please check your dogs often for ticks, remove them immediately and be sure to get tick prevention for them. Paul’s vet supplies is a good place to buy trusted brands the staff will also help you with selecting the proper treatment and show you how to apply it properly. Here’s some symptoms to look for. If you suspect that your dog might have already been infected please see your veterinarian for antibiotics.

180 dogs and cats were spayed and neutered this week! Thank you to everyone who volunteered, worked so hard, brought food, cleaned carried dogs or brought their pet. We repaired one traumatic hernia, removed 3 eyeballs, pulled a dozen teeth and clipped & cleaned so many wounds. Many thanks 😊
