Two free spay/neuter clinics for feral and outdoor community cats that live in Arlington ZIP codes 76010 and 76014 are scheduled for the coming weeks.
Arlington feral and community cats dropped off at the events will be vaccinated, spayed or neutered and ear-tipped to show that they have been sterilized when they are released back into the community.
A driver' s license or other proof of residency in one of the zip codes must be presented at the drop-off, and cats must be confined in a carrier. Call Texas Coalition for Animal Protection (TCAP) at 940-566-5551 to reserve a spot.
