ASNI went to Sliven in Bulgaria in March 2024 to carry out the eleventh campaign there. 221 animals will not reproduce due to this spayathon event!

The team worked over a four day period on both cats and dogs spaying and neutering via keyhole surgical procedures using the hook spay method. Which provides a minimally invasive way to spay a female causing less stress on the animal with faster recovery rates.

 Other techniques used (demonstrated below in the video by Dr Ruth Osborne) with the cats was a more humane and less stressful way of giving the pre-medication. Instead of taking the cat out of the carrier by force the cat is injected in the carrier with minimal handling in the process.
