Neuter Clinics
Cherokee County Humane Society (CCHS) will
be offering two LOW-COST neuter clinics in May. Some low-cost neuter programs
require that owners show a "financial need" in order to have their cats
neutered. These two CCHS clinics are NOT based on financial need, and
all Cherokee County residents owning male cats are strongly encouraged
to take advantage of this offer. CCHS offers all this for only $20 per
neuter. Local veterinarians have graciously donated their time for these
CCHS sponsored clinics in May. Appointments must be made in advance by
contacting CCHS at (770) 928-5115 and owners must provide a cat carrier.
This is a "cash only" clinic. Checks will not be accepted.
