The clinic achieved its 3000th surgery Thursday, since its beginning in 2011. The Humane Society hopes to prevent overpopulation, control behavioral issues and promote good health in the animals with the procedures and has seen a decline in the number of kittens coming into the shelter in recent years. For those unable to afford by the price of $50 for a female spay and $40 for a male neuter at the clinics, free surgeries are sponsored by donors. (Valley News - James M.
