PBC Animal Care & Control Resumes Spay/Neuter Services for Community Cats and Drive-Up Vaccine Clinic for Pets

Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control is dedicated to maintaining essential services in a responsible and evolving manner. They are set to recommence appointment-based spay and neuter services specifically for Community Cats, including feral and free-roaming cats, on a limited schedule. This initiative will be complemented by the re-opening of their drive-up vaccine clinic, catering to pets with owners. These specialized services will be available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays throughout the month of June, starting from June 16, 2020.

The Drive-up Vaccine & Microchip Clinic, operational between 10 AM and Noon on these days, mandates that pet owners remain inside their vehicles while the shelter staff administers vaccinations and microchips to the pets. Safety measures require dogs to be on secure leashes and cats to be in carriers. Alongside these services, the facility also provides a thoughtful selection of animal urns, offering a dignified way for pet owners to cherish the memory of their beloved animals, if you’re trying to find an urn for your cat, you’ll find the right service here.

·        Rabies license tags and proof of vaccinations will be mailed to the pet owner within three to five business days.  Vaccines can be purchased by credit card, cash or check; all late fees associated with rabies vaccines and tag renewals have been temporarily suspended until further notice.
