Update #2
January 26 Update - Almost Home!
The new El Cajon stationary clinic is becoming a reality. Demolition was completed last month and the new walls are in place, primed, and painting has begun. The lighting, plumbing, doors and other fixtures are being connected, and the flooring is almost ready to be installed. By the end of February we should be ready to move in the final surgical equipment and celebrate the new space. We are so excited to have this surgical suite to support our East County neighborhoods. Thank you to the individual donors that have stepped up to build this project, as well as Miramar Kitchen & Bath, ACES Foundation, Animal Welfare Foundation and the David C. Copley Foundation for their major contributions to the project and ongoing support of the clinics in East County.
The original Neuter Scooter has just celebrated its 20th birthday and is ready to retire due to new vehicle emission standards in California. The bus has been parked adjacent to All God’s Creatures Teaching Hospital & Surgery Center in El Cajon this year to host 3-4 clinics a week to east county residents. Through this strong partnership with our host, SNAP has been offered space to build and equip a surgical suite at that site to launch our first stationary surgery center.
Outfitting SNAP’s first stationary clinic is a priority project, with an overall project cost of $30,000 for facility retrofit and surgical equipment purchase and installation. SNAP has already received commitment from local contractors and the adjacent veterinary hospital to provide free or reduced rate construction services and building materials for this project. Some of the serviceable equipment from the Neuter Scooter bus will be relocated to the new suite, but some equipment has reached its useful lifetime and will need replacement.
Please consider a gift to outfit this space to help more animals!
