Low-cost spay and neuter surgeries are available at several local clinics during the month of February.

The Seattle Humane Society and Value Pet Clinic are clinics nearby that are offering low-cost spay and neuter surgeries as part of World Spay Day 2013.

Participating clinics will offer the services for $40 for cats and kittens and $55-$100 for dogs and puppies; call the clinic to confirm prices.

The official date for the campaign is Tuesday, Feb. 26, but many clinics are offering services throughout the month of February, according to The Humane Society of the United States.

The Seattle Humane Society also has special pricing for income-qualified cat owners on World Spay Day. On Feb. 26, Seattle Humane will offer $5 neuter and $15 spay surgeries for cats belonging to qualified-income households, though additional charges may apply for complicated surgeries. Feline microchipping and FVRCP vaccines will also be available for $5 each. Pricing the rest of the month will be $10 for neuters and $25 for spays.

Families of four in King County with an income of $65,000 or less qualify for the special services. Appointments are required. To check if you qualify and to make an appointment online go to seattlehumane.org/fix or call 425-649-7560.

That is the best commentary on the subject to date. This should be on the front page of every localRead More newspaper. Finally pressure to bear. Thank you!!!

Excellent assessments today, both by Mr. Horn here, and by Mr. Cero in today's MI Reporter. The keyRead More is that we need new blood in both the legislature, and in our City Council, to actually better understand the problems at hand and potential real solutions we'll need. Many of our elected and appointed officials are poorly representing their constituency. For example, Ms. Clibborn could readily put the brakes on this I-90 tolling tax diversion to fund 520 fiasco, in a heartbeat, through her leadership position for state transportation. But despite that tolling is a terrible precedent, and could even undermine the entire national interstate highway system, Ms. Clibborn is CHOOSING NOT TO fight I-90 bridge tolling. Apparently she and some of our waffling weak kneed Council members have made their choices about this issue, and about other debacles, like our seriously flawed highly subsidized mass transit, and our pending loss of carpool lanes. Now it is approaching the time to make our decisions, in the next election.

Great article Jim. So despite the bad decisions and bad policy by the legislature, we can gatherRead More that the way out of this mess is to raise gas tax appropriately to pay for the roads. Additionally I might add, we can scale down on the upgrades and delay constructing the approaches to the 520 bridge. Scaling back these upgrades should not affect the safety or construction schedule of the 520 bridge and may eliminate the funding shortage entirely.
