Low-income families can get their cats spayed or neutered at a discount through the Cat Adoption Team's "Beat the Heat" Feline Fix-a-Thon, running through Sept. 4.

The special price is $20 per female cat or kitten and $10 for males. Surgeries are done at the shelter's hospital, 14175 S.W. Galbreath Drive.

Appointments must be booked by calling CAT's office at 503-925-8903. Cats or kittens must be at least 10 weeks old, weigh at least 2-1/2 pounds and be healthy.

Feral cats are not eligible for this program; CAT staffers suggest contacting the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon for assistance.
