What kind of activities does the Animal Krewe sponsor?
We are proud to organize the Krewe of Barkus & Meoux Pet Parade each Mardi Gras season. The Pet Parade is our main fundraiser to help the animals. All help is appreciated. Please call 752-CATS if you can help.

What is the Spay/Neuter Program?
"Spay a Pet & Save a Life." The Program is designed to provide spay or neuter service to a segment of the population that is economically disadvantaged. The focus is made to serve mainly the elderly or those less fortunate, who have limited financial resources. This is a special community service program to provide assistance to those who are unable to afford to have their dogs or cats spayed or neutered. Spaying and neutering also helps to limit the pet population, thus, in turn, helps prevent neglect and unwanted animals. The Krewe encourages education to the public about being a responsible owner.
