Nevada Humane Society launches mobile spay, neuter services for feral cats in Carson City
Residents in Carson City now have an option for spaying and neutering feral cats. A mobile veterinary clinic, specially designed for spay/neuter services, was recently built for Nevada Humane Society thanks to a grant which covered the cost of the vehicle.
The giant RV was brought to Carson City last week, and the first mobile spay/neuter clinic for feral cats in Carson City was held on Friday, resulting in 15 feral cats being spayed or neutered, vaccinated and ear tipped.
“This mobile clinic will allow us to provide a bigger outreach to the residents of Carson City and to help control the feral cat population in the area. Right now we are accepting appointments only for feral cats. It’s a big step forward for Carson City, and we’re thrilled to be able to make a difference for animals in Nevada’s capital city,” said Denise Stevens, Interim CEO for Nevada Humane Society. “The community has asked for our help and we are there for them. With the new shelter opening later this year, we will only continue to increase lifesaving efforts by increasing our programs and services even further to the region.”
Carson City residents must call 775-887-2171 to schedule an appointment for spay/neuter services. At this time, services are being provided to feral cats only and appointments are based on availability. The next clinic is scheduled for June 9th.
