A week later we went to a clinic where he was volunteering and watched feral cats be spayed and neutered. They clipped the ears on all the cats so that if they were caught again later it would be obvious that they had already been spayed/neutered. I thought it smelled pretty bad, but they had good food.
Notes from the mom:
I thought this was a great merit badge! My son is really allergic to cats so we had to make sure he had plenty of anti-histamine plus his inhaler before he went to the clinic. He learned a lot from this merit badge about animals and their care. The opportunity to go to the clinic and spend the day observing these procedures was an eye opener for him and a wonderful learning experience. He also gets great delight from telling about the experiences of this day.
This merit badge took some book work, time with the counselor and time at the clinic, but didn't cost a dime!
