BLOOMINGTON— Monroe County Humane Association (MCHA) is overjoyed to announce its April event, which will help local cat and dog owners keep their animals safe and healthy.
On Sunday, April 14, 2024, the Crestmont Community Center, 1007 W. N Summit St, Bloomington, Indiana 47404, will host a pop-up mobile vaccine clinic. MCHA’s amazing veterinary team of volunteers will be available from 1 to 3 p.m., with no appointment needed; all are welcome!
Mobile Clinics offer various services, including legally mandated rabies vaccines for pets aged 12 weeks (about three months) and older. Additionally, clinics provide nail trims, anal gland expressions, microchips, and preventive measures for fleas, ticks, and heartworm.
Subsidized rates are available to residents experiencing financial hardship. To qualify for these rates, residents should bring valid documentation to the Mobile Vaccine Clinic. Safety is paramount. Cats must be in carriers, and dogs must be leashed (no retractable leashes). Pet owners must understand that pets showing signs of illness or aggression might be turned away.
Communities or organizations interested in hosting a wellness clinic are warmly invited to reach out. This is a golden opportunity to bring essential pet care services to your area.
