Low-cost spay and neuter clinic set for Feb. 26

A low-cost spay and neuter clinic will be held Feb. 26, with AlterClinic providing transportation to and from its Canton facility to help keep community pets healthy and reduce overpopulation.

Van pickup is scheduled for 7 a.m. beside the Cadiz BMV. The return trip is expected around 5 p.m. Space is limited, and reservations are required by calling 234-804-3064.

Pricing is as follows: cat spay, $75; cat neuter, $65; dog neuter, $120 and up; dog spay, $142 and up. Trap-Neuter-Return services are available for $46 and include vaccines. A rabies vaccine is $18 and is mandatory unless proof of current vaccination is provided.

Pet owners should note that cats who recently had kittens should wait until the kittens are 8 weeks old before scheduling surgery. Nursing mothers can still become pregnant and are encouraged to be spayed early. Kittens must weigh at least 3 pounds to be altered.

Residents are encouraged to call soon to reserve a spot and help reduce pet overpopulation in the community.
