So many get abandoned, run over, or euthanized. Fix Long Beach is helping to prevent these little tragedies by presenting the cats\u2019 day at a special event. Cats only will be spayed or neutered for free on July 11, to qualified Long Beach residents only.<\/p>\n<p>If you or someone you know earns an annual salary of $30,000 or less, sign up for an appointment <a href=\"http:\/\/fixlongbeach.com\/make-an-appointment\/\">here<\/a>. (You can also come on the date of the appointment as standby; there\u2019s no guarantee of a procedure, but you can make one for the next event.) When you come, bring proof of income and Long Beach residency (these events are for Long Beach residents only.)<\/p>\n<p>Whether you come as&nbsp;standby or with an appointment, do not give your cat anything to eat or drink after 12:01AM, and bring your cat in a carrier that\u2019s dedicated as an animal carrier. No paper bags or suitcases, please.&nbsp;If you don\u2019t own a carrier, pet supply stores like Petco and PetSmart carry inexpensive cardboard ones; they run on the average of $8.
