The SNP LA -- Spay Neuter Project of Los Angeles, formerly called Clinico -- will host an open house  from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday (Feb. 8) at its San Pedro site.

Door prizes, refreshments and a tour of the facility will be offered to the public.

SNP LA provides spay neuter services that are affordable and accessible to all pet owners in the Los Angeles area in an effort to create an environment in which animal shelters no longer rely on euthanizing animals as a way of controlling pet population.

The open house -- along with others at the group's Pico Rivera and Van Nuys facilities -- is offered in conjunction with the 18th annual Spay Day which is Feb. 28. Found Animals is assisting in the event.

The San Pedro clinic is located on the grounds of the Harbor Area Animal Care Center, 957 N. Gaffey St., San Pedro.

Actors and Others for Animals will distribute vouchers for free spay/neuter surgeries for 400 cats belonging to Los Angeles County residents beginning today. Among the clinics taking part is Clinico in San Pedro.

It's all part of the 16th annual Spay Day, a yearly campaign of The Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International.

"We firmly believe that the only way to solve the pet overpopulation problem and end the killing of so many unwanted animals is through spay and netuer," said Actors and Others for animals President JoAnne Worley.

The program is sponsored by the PETCO Foundation and supported in part by a grant from the California Community Foundation. From today through March 9, L.A. County residents can register online at www.actorsandothers.com to receive a voucher that will allow them to have their cats spayed or netuered without charge Surgeries must be completed by April 20 and there is a limit of three vouchers per household.

Participating veterinary clinics are:

• Animal Clinic of La Mirada
• Clinico/San Pedro
• Crenshaw dog & Cat Hospital
• Fix Nation
• Gateway Animal Hospital
• Golden State Humane Long Beach
• Lynwood Animal Hospital
• Spay & Neuter Clinic of Simi Valley
• Valley Vet Hospital/San Gabriel

A news conference announcing other new spay/neuter initiatives for L.A. residents that will benefit both cats and dogs -- thanks to a grant from Found Animals Foundation -- will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday at the Clinico Harbor Clinic, 957 N. Gaffey St., San Pedro. For more information or to book an appointment go to www.clinico.org or call 310-241-0768.
