4 Paws spay/neuter clinic asks Midway for budget support after 1,500 surgeries in first year
Summary
A board member for 4 Paws Spay and Neuter Clinic told the council the nonprofit performed over 1,500 surgeries since June 2025, cited high shelter euthanasia rates in Davidson County, and asked Midway to consider budget support—noting $1,000 could fund services for about 20 feral cats.
April Crowson, a board member with 4 Paws Spay and Neuter Clinic, asked the Midway Town Council on May 4 to consider supporting the clinic’s mission with town funds.
Crowson described 4 Paws as Davidson County’s only reduced‑cost spay and neuter option, said the clinic has performed more than 1,500 surgeries since opening in June 2025, and cited county shelter euthanasia statistics for 2025 (67% of cats and 44% of dogs brought to the Davidson County shelter were euthanized). She asked council to consider allocating budget funds and noted that “$1,000 can fund spay and neuter services for twenty feral cats.”
Mayor John Byrum confirmed that Crowson’s public address covered the agenda item listed for Lisa Gallimore Grubb; council did not take immediate action but heard the request as part of regular business.
