Camden, DE, 1/19/2012 — The Kent County SPCA received a $101,090 grant from PetSmart Charities® to promote a new program called Project Purr. Project Purr will offer services to the owners of cats/kittens in Dover and Camden/Wyoming over the next two years to proactively fight the area’s homeless-pet overpopulation.

The program offers the owners of cats/kittens free spay/neuter services, rabies vaccines, and microchips beginning in February. For more information about Project Purr, please visit www.kcspca.org or call the Kent County SPCA at 302-698-3006.

“Our goal is to make spay/neuter services more available to pet owners who might not otherwise be able to sterilize their pets,” says Jaime Lay, Director of Development, Kent County SPCA. “With thousands of homeless and unwanted cats and kittens being surrendered to the shelter every year in our community, spaying and neutering services are essential to solving our homeless-pet overpopulation problem.”

“I am very excited for this program to begin”, said Kevin Usilton, Executive Director, Kent County SPCA. “We will be able to help local pet owners in our community keep their cats healthy."

"With dedicated focus and a plan like Kent County SPCA, we are able to make strides toward helping end homeless-pet overpopulation," said Susana Della Maddalena, vice president and executive director of PetSmart Charities, Inc.
