I am happy to hear that you found someplace less expensive to get the kitties spayed/nuetered.

Sometimes you can talk to businesses and get them to donate stuff that you can sell. Just be upfront and honest about what you are doing and you should be able to find a few.

I also like the idea of being in front of a store, and gathering donations. Maybe you can hand out literature on the importance for having animals spayed/nuetered. Just make sure that you get permission.

It is sad that some people just don't get it.
