If you have a male cat that is “intact,” or not neutered, here’s your chance to be a responsible pet owner at an unbeatable price.

Bring your Tom to the Animal Coalition of Tampa’s one-day neuter-a-thon June 15, during which clinic veterinarians and staff will sterilize 100 male cats.

Since there is a limit on the number of surgeries that can be done, appointments are necessary. Call (813) 250-3900 for information and to book a spot.

ACT is a nonprofit agency that is trying hard to reduce the horrific number of animals euthanized each year at area shelters.

Hillsborough County Animal Services alone had to put down almost 28,000 cats and dogs in 2006.

The cause? Irresponsible pet owners.

In the interest of full disclosure, I have recently agreed to work with ACT. But given my interest in animal issues, which I’ve been writing about for 20 years, and the importance of spaying and neutering, I would be writing this post without any such relationship.

This is an important issue. The cost to taxpayers - and animal lovers - for dealing with stray, unwanted and/or uncared for animals is steep in dollars and heartache.

The cost to the animals is far too often their lives.
