Hundreds Use Spay or Neuter Voucher Program

Hundreds of City Pet Owners take advantage of Free Spay or Neuter Voucher Program

Corpus Christi Animal Care Services (CCACS) has given away enough free spay and neuter vouchers to pet owners to fulfill a grant made possible through the Rachel Ray 100K Challenge.

In December, employees began giving away the vouchers to cat and dog owners in the area between Old Brownsville Road and Weber Road, and State Highway 358 and Horne Road. CCACS is expecting to perform 400 to 500 surgeries between now and February thanks to the available funding. If you were issued a voucher, you will soon be contacted to schedule your pet’s surgery.

CCACS appreciates members of the community who took advantage of this program.  In the event additional funding is made available, the voucher program may be reinstated. For more information contact Interim Program Manager Steven Bly at (361) 826-4602 or at stevenb@cctexas.com.

When they arrived all of the people involved were gone but officers did find a knife with blood on it. While officers were investigating, a 22 year old male victim and his brother walked up covered in blood and they both appeared to be intoxicated. The victim had a stab wound to the middle of his back. Both brothers were yelling and cursing at officers and the medics that were on the scene to assist them.

At first, the victim refused to be treated by CCFD EMS but later he agreed if his brother was allowed to go with him. Once in the ambulance both brothers became combative again and were trying to hit the medics.

The brother, Jacob Ferstl (01/08/1991), was arrested for interfering with duties of a public servant, a Class B misdemeanor and public intoxication.

The victim was handcuffed to the stretcher for the safety of the medics and transported to Spohn Memorial Hospital.

After an investigation it was determined that both brothers were involved in a disturbance with a group of other men in the bar. The disturbance moved outside as the bar was closing and it was at that time the victim was stabbed in the back by one of the other men.

The victim refused to provide officers with any information regarding the suspect who stabbed him.
