Paws for Prevention Crawford County, IL Spay and Neuter

Here’s our final Friday Feel Good Story of 2025…here we are at the end of 2025, and it makes us feel good to share these figures with you. In 2025, Paws for Prevention has accomplished much. Through the constant work of applying for grants and seeking donations from boards and businesses, and accepting donations from anybody; we have accomplished much! We are grateful to each one of you that has donated to this non profit. Our mission to help control the population of stray and feral cats in our county will never be complete, but these figures prove that we are a force in Crawford County. This would be impossible without the cooperation of the veterinarians that are willing to work with us and offer their services. Thank you to Dr. Nanci and staff at Pet Wellness of Southern Illinois in Effingham, Dr. Boyer and staff at Marshall Animal Care Clinic, and Dr. Seals and staff at Robinson Hospital for Animals. And thank you to each individual that has worked alongside with us by helping to bring in these cats. Happy New Year!! We are celebrating!🥳

Here’s a Friday Feel Good Story…Paws for Prevention is thrilled to be holding mini clinics in cooperation with Robinson Hospital for Animals and Dr. Seals! Our first clinic had 10 females receive a spay surgery. Some of the cats were trapped by Paws for Prevention and other cats were brought in by Crawford County residents who want to help control the stray cat population. A huge thank you to those residents and to Dr. Seals and staff! It really takes the cooperation of so many to get this accomplished, and it makes us feel good to have such wonderful support.

Here’s a Friday Feel Good Story…This handsome ginger is a stray on walk-about in Oblong. He was spotted during a food pantry delivery and was eager to pose for some pictures. That clipped ear identifies him as fixed and no longer contributing to the over population problem that continues to run rampant in our county. It is a good feeling to know we are helping, but we know there is more work to be done. Paws for Prevention is grateful to all that support us in our mission.
