Word spreads to New England

I wish I could blame it on the cats, but this time I have to admit I did it myself. There’s this button on the answering machine that I shouldn’t have pushed, but I did, so some of your messages have disappeared never to be heard again.

So if you have left a message at 662-252-6196, the Spay/Neuter Clinic number, and haven’t gotten a call back, please try again.

Speaking of phone calls, people from all over call the Spay/Neuter Clinic all the time but recently a lady with an English accent called. It was clear she wasn’t from Marshall County, so I asked where she was from. It turns out she was calling from London, England! Her mom lives here and a fix for her pet is part of her Christmas present. Wow! The word has really spread.

Money is tight for everyone these days, including the Marshall County Humane Society. But, as Bernadette Peters says in “The Jerk,” “It’s not the money, it’s the stuff,” and we could really use some stuff such as bleach, antiseptic hand cleaner, detergent, dry dog and cat food, cat litter, dog bones and like items used in caring for and cleaning up after our four-legged friends. If you’d like to donate something just leave it on the porch at the clinic in Byhalia.

For an appointment at the Spay/Neuter Clinic call 662-252-6196.

For information on adoptions, fostering or anything else about our Humane Society, call 662-564-2900. Correspondence and donations should be mailed to the Marshall County Humane Society, P.O. Box 625, Holly Springs, MS 38635.
