“Keeping pets in their homes with the people that love them is so important to us at MRFRS. This incredibly generous grant from Cummings Foundation will enable MRFRS to make a difference for every animal we help, across all of our programs, by providing them with a microchip at no cost,” said MRFRS’s development and communications manager Stephanie Lyon. “The ASPCA estimates over 10 million dogs and cats are lost or stolen in the U.S. MRFRS will be distributing microchip scanners in select cities and towns to ensure that it will be easy to get a stray animal scanned and returned home as soon as possible.
Dogs will be microchipped too, at MRFRS’s Rabies & Microchipping Clinics held in Salisbury. Over the next four years, MRFRS will use grant funding to provide free microchips to cats in communities located in Central & Eastern Massachusetts, with a focus on Essex, Middlesex and Suffolk counties. MRFRS also assists with veterinary costs for low-income individuals and community cats. Since 1992, MRFRS has sheltered and found homes for thousands of cats and helped make spay/neuter surgeries more convenient and affordable for both owned and free-roaming cats. The Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society strives to improve the lives of all cats and provide support and education for the people who care about them. It will receive $100,000 over four years. The Salisbury-based organization was chosen from a total of 590 applicants during a competitive review process.
