SLAPS Spaying and Neutering Clinic

The current spaying and neutering clinic run by the St Lucia Animal Protection Society (SLAPS) with International Veterinary Assistance Inc. began yesterday. These are held two or three times a year in an attempt to cut down on the number of stray cats and dogs on the island. SLAPS has one paid office worker but is otherwise run entirely by volunteers. These people help with fund-raising, cleaning out cages and feeding and ferrying dogs and cats all over the island to and from the clinic.
