Help a Black Cat This Halloween!
Dear Friend,
In medieval times, black cats often suffered abuse, torture, and gruesome deaths at the hands of superstitious people. While we'd like to think that people are more sophisticated today, black cats are still feared by some, and cats—black, white, or other—often suffer the consequences during the Halloween season. To make things even more challenging, many animal shelters have a difficult time placing black cats in loving, responsible homes—probably because of superstition.
To help end animal homelessness and suffering, PETA's SNIP ("Spay and Neuter Immediately, Please!") mobile clinic program is offering free spay-and-neuter surgeries for black cats this Halloween. Lifesaving efforts such as this do not come cheap. Won't you support this vital work by becoming a SNIP sponsor today?
What's really scary is the fact that an unspayed cat can give birth to 16 kittens in one year and that these kittens can go on to reproduce in just six months! SNIP's work means that countless animals will never be left on the streets to fend for themselves, succumb to untreated injuries and illnesses, become the victims of abuse, or be turned over to an animal shelter to sit in a cage and wait for a home, sometimes in vain.
PETA's fieldworkers go door to door in low-income areas and distribute fliers about our spay-and-neuter clinic services. The SNIP-mobile often parks in these neighborhoods so that even people without access to transportation can take advantage of these low-cost and free services. Now that's a treat!
Although spaying and neutering black cats and other animals is vital to ending the current animal overpopulation crisis, it comes at a price. A full day's work costs PETA approximately $1,500. With an average of 25 sterilizations performed each day, keeping this program affordable enough so that it can help as many animals as possible is a challenge.
Will you help make life better for cats—and dogs—by sponsoring SNIP right now?
Kind regards,

P.S. SNIP's efforts to end the suffering of our animal companions have made a real difference for thousands of cats and dogs in the last year alone, and SNIP has sterilized more than 65,511 animals—saving countless lives!—since the program's inception in 2001. Please help create a kinder, safer world for cats and dogs by supporting SNIP today.
