00:00Ghosty the cat was adopted from Paws Darwin in November last year.
00:11Her owner Alicia has been trying for months to get the desexing surgery she paid Paws for.
00:18For me it was something super important because desexing I really don't want her to get pregnant anytime soon
00:23or get in trouble because not being desexed properly.
00:26The ABC revealed earlier this week that Paws Darwin has left many customers similarly out of pocket
00:33and has over $212,000 in unmet liabilities.
00:38In a statement Paws told the ABC they are currently working towards ensuring all outstanding commitments are met.
00:46Since the story aired a local vet with the help of some anonymous donors has decided to step in.
00:52We've had two very generous people who have given us a donation to desex ten cats and ten dogs separately.
00:59That will enable us to provide desexing for the dogs and cats that otherwise would have missed out.
01:07Dr Cutter says desexing is essential for the welfare of animals in the NT.
01:13Particularly up here it's really important to control breeding because there's far more both dogs and cats than there are good owners for them.
01:22Alicia and her cat Ghostie were the first to book in for the service.
01:27It was probably one of the most luckiest time for us because like that needed to be done and we kind of felt like left on the sides like not being taken care of.
01:38It's a good outcome for pet parents and their furry friends.
01:42Let's go.
01:43Also, let's see.
01:44Let's go.
