The City of Plano Animal Services Department will neuter male cats for 5 cents each
on Tuesday, Feb. 24 as part of Spay Day USA 2009. Appointments must be made in
advance for this one-day event held at the Plano Animal Shelter, 4028 Plano Parkway.
To qualify cats must have written proof of current rabies vaccinations and must be in
