Christopher

Note from a recent adopter: "We adopted Christopher, a 10 month old orange tabby two weeks ago. He is our second cat from Hopalong. We adopted Frankie (now Frank) 7 years ago. Both kittens were in the window @ Your Basic Bird. They also had the same foster Mom (thank you Liz D.) which warmed our hearts.

After a week of negotiation between the two cats, we settled into a routine of sorts. We changed Christoper's name to "Julius", gave him his new name tag and collar and let him have the run of the place. He now sleeps in our bed or on the window seat or on the chair or on the sofa (you see how this goes).

We are very thankful for such wonderfully well socialized cats and for Hopalong's great work.

Keep up the good work!"

Hopalong & Second Chance Spay/Neuter Voucher Program



What happens when dogs and cats do not get spayed or neutered?
I think we all know the answer to that question…..thousands of dogs and cats surrendered to our shelters.

Hopalong/Second Chance is pleased to announce a new spay/neuter voucher program for community pets. In cooperation with Aborn Pet Hospital in Fremont, we are now able to offer a low-cost alternative to pet owners for these procedures.

Dog vouchers for male or female dogs, regardless of size, are $100.
Cat vouchers are $50.

If you would like more information about this program, please call our voucher hotline at 510-384-0867.
