Interview! Sheri Gustafson, Spay/Neuter Community Liaison for the Massachusetts Animal Fund

“One thing that people don’t realize is how much healthier the cat population is on farms when the population is spayed/neutered.”
Pamela is a founder and the executive director of Vermont Companion Animal Neutering (VT-CAN), a low cost, high volume spay/neuter clinic. As a stationary clinic with a mash-stlye component, VT-CAN performs approximately 3,200 spays/neuters per year in central Vermont, with an additional 2,000 per year as partner to the Felines and Friends Foundation in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. Pamela has extensive experience working with barn cat populations, a common situation in rural areas. She discusses certain challenges related to this type of cat community, including the misconception that barns are healthier places for stray or abandoned in-tact community cats than shelters. Pamela also discusses the challenge of retaining veterinarians for S/N clinics, the Spay the Mom program, and grant writing.For more information please visit vt-can.org.
