The Kentucky Humane Society’s CARE-a-Van will come to Lewis County next month, offering free spay and neuter surgeries for cats and dogs to residents of Lewis and Fleming counties.
The mobile clinic will be set up at the Floral Hall at the Tollesboro Lions Club, 97 Lions Club Road, with cat surgeries scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 11, and dog surgeries on Wednesday, Aug. 12. The CARE-a-Van team will arrive Monday, Aug. 10, to prepare the site before the two-day clinic begins.
Appointments are required and are expected to fill quickly.
Residents may schedule appointments online by visiting the Kentucky Humane Society CARE-a-Van webpage and selecting Floral Hall at the Tollesboro Lions Club as the clinic location. If the Tollesboro location does not appear during the booking process, all appointments for that category have been filled.
Although the booking page displays the standard surgery price, Lewis and Fleming County residents pay only a refundable deposit of $25 per cat and $35 per dog. The deposit is refunded when the owner brings the pet to its scheduled appointment.
Each pet must have its own appointment and refundable deposit.
Dogs must weigh 50 pounds or less to qualify for the clinic.
Appointments cannot be made by telephone and deposits must be paid with a credit or debit card.
Kentucky Humane Society officials said surgery appointments, particularly for female animals, often fill within a few days of registration opening. Cancellations occasionally create new openings, but no waiting list is maintained.
Residents who do not receive an immediate confirmation email should allow up to one business day for Kentucky Humane Society staff to review appointments.
The Lewis County Animal Shelter serves both Lewis and Fleming counties, making residents of both counties eligible for the clinic.
Appointments may be scheduled online at the Kentucky Humane Society CARE-a-Van page. More information about the organization’s programs is available through the Kentucky Humane Society website.
