S.N.A.P. Newsletter 8-23-2000 10 REASONS TO SUPPORT S.N.A.P. 2. PET'S BEST FRIEND: Fourteen (14) community minded veterinarians make time in their businesses to not only provide excellent service to their customers, but reach out to assist in the elimination of the pet overpopulation crisis by providing low cost spay and neuter services year round through the SNAP organization. 3. CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME: Have you been helped? Here is your chance to pass on the good deed! Working together, we (supporters, grants from foundations, veterinarians, pet owners, S.N.A.P.) make up a grass roots organization cleaning up our own local pet overpopulation problem one family at a time. 4. TARGETED DISCOUNTS: S.N.A.P. aims at the root causes of the cat overpopulation crisis. Through the Barn/Outdoors Cats & Kittens Spay Neuter Program we work to reduce the over supply of kittens from farms. Female cats are spayed for $10 and male cats are neutered for $5. 5. WE'RE USER FRIENDLY: A person answers questions about S.N.A.P.'s programs 24/7. One phone call to the vet arranges the surgery date. One call back to SNAP with the surgery date and your SNAP Certificates are emailed or faxed immediately to your chosen veterinarian. 6. TOTALLY INDEPENDENT: S.N.A.P. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization. All gifts are tax deductible. We receive no assistance from the city, county, Muscatine Humane Society, United Way, local fund raisers, or paid fund raisers. WE NEED YOU! 7. HUMANE TRAP LOANS: Muscatine has "safe streets" but Muscatine wants "litter free properties" as well. The primary source of hundreds of new cats for which there are not enough homes is the outside stray. With the new $10 and $5 spay/neuter program, people are working harder than ever to get their local outdoor strays into surgery. Traps are expensive and needed for only a short time. Our loans of humane traps fill that need. 8. COST EFFECTIVE: No salaries, all volunteers. No overhead. No brick and mortar to maintain. No paid fund raisers. Donations go to work at the veterinarian's hospitals or clinics. With limited resources, we remain focused on the services that will accomplish the S.N.A.P. mission--to enable people to alter their pets with needed SNAP discounts. 9. WE LISTEN AND ADAPT: Initially S.N.A.P. was one program fixing one indoor pet per family. After listening, we added programs to better meet pet owners' needs: The OUTDOORS CAT & KITTEN SPAY NEUTER PROGRAM. SpayS $10,NeuterS $5. The Muscatine Inner City Spay Neuter Program available from May through October thanks to two exceptionally caring veterinarians bring exceptionally low prices to inner city pet owners who do not have the resources to travel to veterinarians which offer the prices they need. Dog spay and neuters $30. Cat spay $10 and neuter $5.00 10. EVERY PENNY STAYS HERE: No national affiliation dues. Send your tax deductible contribution along with your name, address and email address to: S.N.A.P., 1229 Northwood Lane, Muscatine, IA 52761. If you have questions, please call 563-264-2370. Your contribution entitles you to the satisfaction of knowing that you are a part of the solution and are doing your part to help end the euthanization of innocent pets caused by the overpopulation crisis. © 1997,1998,1999 E.Central, Inc. |
