Volunteer Cameron Tarzwell, 13, cleans loose hairs
that have been shaved from an anesthetized Princess before
sterilizing the area that will be operated on. Tarzwell has
been assisting veterinarian Lorie Portugal for four years.
MORE STORY INFO: Charlie (not in photo) and Princess were
born six months ago to a stray cat in Coatesville, PA. The
kittens were found by a Spayed Club volunteer and were given
to fourteen year-old Theresa Weaver and her father David C.
Weaver. On January 9, 2002, Dr. Lorie Portugal, of Thorndale,
spayed Princess and neutered Charlie. These are two more cats
that were sterilized through "The Spayed Club" and
will keep the pet population down. One of the The Spayed Club
programs is the spay/neuter program that offers reduced rates
or subsidize the cost of the surgeries for those who cannot
afford it. The Spayed Club assisted with Charlie and Princess'
surgeries because Theresa's father is a full-time college
