Looking to buy sod in lower Luzerne county

I am looking for a business where I can buy a small quantity of sod.

I have ordered and installed sod before. Minimum order is 500sf. Big box stores are full pallets of sod only, not small quantities.

I am in need of 60sf or so of sod so an entire pallet of sod is overkill. I am looking for a business that sells piecemeal sod as needed.

Veterinary Practice: Affordable TNR spay

Location: Southern Luzerne County

I am a dog owner that had a cat come into our lives 4 years ago as a wild little stray, I'm still new to cat life. She was a precious gift. I owe her biological family a debt of gratitude.

Next litter included a bonded pair. They remain together as ferals in our rural hamlet; however, the kittens are rapidly becoming overwhelming.

She left a kitten for me last Saturday. I am now caring for him. "Arthur" will likely become our second cat

Our neighbor found four more kittens this afternoon and was able to trap momma, something that I had been unable to accomplish.

I want to do what's right for this colony by spaying and releasing mom.

My dilemma is that I don't know where to turn for affordable spay service in a somewhat timely manner.

As a feral, she is showing signs of stress in the crate. She's eating and drinking, but likely because we have already had somewhat of a relationship. She is still thrashing about regularly and panting when she stops.

My regular vet can spay next Wednesday (after a rabies vaccination and flea treatments) for a small fortune. I want to do the right thing. I am willing to pay out of pocket to do what is right, but almost $1,000 for a neighborhood feral seems to be a "screw you, go somewhere else" price. (Will not name and shame, love the vet, hate the prices at the practice)

Does anyone have any leads in NEPA for a (relatively) quick turnaround spay service for a TNR feral at a price that doesn't break the bank? I'm not looking for 'freebies' or 'handouts'. I will accept financial responsibility for her. I'm just a concerned citizen that wants to do the right thing and help control the feral population in his rural neighborhood.
