			Thanks to a little help from RMAA friends, two foundations, Profile Motors, Sharyn and Olof Ekbergh and Gemini Signs, we are taking our "show" on the road. First stop, Berlin!! The van is loaded with all necessary surgical equipment, to drive to day's location, unload, set up, do a day's work, pack up and drive home. Friday, May 30th, team RMAA and Dr. Steve Caffrey of Fryeburg Veterinary Hospital, will be setting up in Berlin to alter 30 cats, 20 males and 10 females, what an impact on this year's kitten season!. This clinic booked up in two days. Plus, we have at least 50 more waiting for the next clinic. To date, the RMAA, in four days, has altered 106 cats, 13 dogs, and 1 rabbit! The RMAA has three local doctors on board and more are joining as the word spreads. Watch for the RMAA van! Help the RMAA reduce homeless animals going into overburdened shelters. To make an appointment call 447-3477. Four to six million homeless cats and dogs are killed annually by shelters across the country. . . How do we stop the killing? The Rozzie May Animal Alliance would like to thank Dr. Sara White of Spay ASAP for getting the RMAA on the road. Thanks to her team we have surgically altered 98 dogs, cats, and rabbits in three days, the community sees the impact that low-cost spay/neuter will have on the pet over population problem facing New Hampshire and the country. The RMAA, incorporated in July 2007, is a tribute to the human/animal bond. This will be a multi-phase project located in Tamworth, New Hampshire, focusing on pet overpopulation and helping homeless animals find their human guardians. Low-cost Spay & neuter clinics Pet overpopulation Education Cat shelter/safehaven Dog shelter/safe haven A proactive, protective animal care facility for New Hampshire, which, with an aggressive spay/neuter program, will work to minimize the need for sheltering and euthanasia. “birth control versus death control.” The beginning goal is $400,000 to purchase suitable property; be it a residence or vacant land for this much-needed project. The RMAA is well on its way, with over $203,585 in financial commitments at the end of 2007. The RMAA, a 501(c)3 IRS tax exempt non-profit organization, needs your tax deductible donation today! The RMAA is committed to lessen the burden on individuals as well as shelters by offering low cost spay/neuter and alternative housing. This is the humane and necessary means to the ultimate goal . . . no more homeless animals . Services and programs With the help of RMAA volunteers, Dr. Sara White of Spay ASAP, Inc. surgically altered 98 animals in three days. The distance that people were willing to travel to the clinic, from Berlin to Manchester, certainly reinforces the need for such services. At the end of the three days there were many grateful folks. Many, not only altered their pets, but also animals left at their doorstep. The RMAA’s first priority is to raise funds to create a surgical facility, which will offer the community weekly clinics. Spay/neuter is the humane way to reduce shelter intake throughout the state and, thus reduce the need for euthanasia. Safe Haven Adoption Programs The RMAA will build or renovate property for a safe haven to house cats and dogs. The first step will be a shelter, which will grow into a refuge for homeless animals. The long-term housing will be animal and people friendly as the residents wait for that perfect match! The cat overpopulation problem will continue, and slowly respond to the impact of greatly increased spay/neuter throughout the state; so the RMAA will be housing homeless felines as soon as possible. Cats are a serious problem because females can start reproducing as early as 6 months and have up to three litters a year. . . shelters are full to overflowing. The RMAA will offer a safe haven, medical care and love to every animal it welcomes, offer the community alternative housing committing to the animal residents, welcome local dogs; and when able, transport dogs from other areas to give as many as possible a second chance. Spay Shuttle . . . Plans include a Spay Shuttle van, which will pick up animals for surgery, bring them to the clinic, and then at the end of the day, return them to their owners. The RMAA will be working with local human service organizations as well as animal welfare agencies to identify those individuals who would benefit from Spay Shuttle services. A pet can be the light of one’s life . . . The RMAA will do whatever it can to help people maintain their relationship with their companion animals.
