A kitten that was stuck in a restaurant fireplace in Tel-Aviv was rescued by the SPCA and will be neutered at the Society’s clinic.
In order to facilitate the complicated rescues, the SPCA rescuers are assisted by state-of-the-art equipment such as a net gun, which shoots a 2/2 meter net and is primarily used to trap dogs; a net lasso to trap small inaccessible animals, primarily injured cats; Blowpipe – in which an injection is inserted with anesthesia and designed to trap animals from a distance (under veterinary supervision), and that is particularly effective in trapping unsterilized cats located in a group in which some of the cats have already undergone spaying or neutering; Pincers, which are primarily used to trap kittens and dogs in the chest area to prevent them from escaping or injury; Lasso stick – stick with lasso at the end, primarily used to trap wounded dogs; and dog and cat traps, in which food is placed as a bait for capture. The prices of these special equipment are particularly expensive, and we wish to thank Dr. Alice Neumov-Raban, whose donations has help us purchase some of the equipment.
