"A Voice for Those that Can’t Speak "
Who are We Targeting and How Are We Going to
Reach Them
Our Target Population
Since our inception in 2004, Jury-Duty Spay & Neuter has targeted three
categories:
1. Low income pet owner
2. Shelter and rescue groups doing neuter before adoptions (NBA)
3. Feral or free roaming cats
To find out more about our research and study of the pet overpopulation in
Escambia and Santa Rosa County, you may read our Assessment.
Low Income Pet Owners
It has been established that as few as 3% of the pet owners actually
contribute as much as 80% of the pet overpopulation problem. These
problem pet owners are most often low income residents who lack the
resources to properly care for their pets, in addition to not knowing why they
should spay and neuter.
We successfully have lobbied our County Commissioners to fund a low
income spay and neuter program. This program is available to all residents
of Escambia County if you meet their guidelines.
Neuter before Adoption
Prior to our advocating for this change Animal Services issued vouchers that
were given to the new pet owner and there was no follow through program in
place to ensure that the new owners had their dog or cat spayed or
neutered.
The changing of this policy was critical for one reason: These laws in recent
years have demonstrated their effectiveness in driving down shelter
admission and shelter death rates.
Feral and Free Roaming Cats
We recognize that we will never be able to reduce the pet overpopulation
problem in our county if we do not address the free roaming cats. We have
established a support team that can assist you with great resources.
We recognize that by spaying and neutering feral and free roaming cats in
Pensacola and Milton, Florida that we will be able to reduce the feral cat
colonies and offer a better quality of life for these cats. There will be fewer
public nuisance problems, lower costs to taxpayers, and a lower euthanasia
rate at the shelter. Disease will be reduced in the colonies due to the
vaccinations given and observation by the caretakers and advocating for
effective legislation protecting feral cats and establishing a
Trap-Neuter-Release program will reduce the feral cat population.
If you feel that this program is worth your support and are willing to work
together with us to end the euthanize of healthy adoptable pets in our
community then please contact us (850) 438-FIXX to offer your assistance,
or help through donations to our feral cat program.
