Mendocino County Hosts HHSA Animal Care-a-Van Vaccination Day in Laytonville

Earlier in July, a cat in the Fort Bragg area tested positive for Rabies.  While it is the first animal testing positive in Mendocino County since 2012, it does highlight the need to educate pet owners on the need for current vaccinations of their pets.

To help Mendocino County residents with vaccinating their pets, their cats in particular, the Mendocino County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) Animal Care Services (ACS) is bringing the Care-a-Van to Laytonville with low cost vaccines for cats and dogs.

The Care-a-Van will be at the Laytonville Feed Store located at 400 Branscomb Road on Sunday, August 2, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.  Rabies vaccines will be at a fabulous price of $6.00 per shot for either cats or dogs.  Other vaccines will be available at $13.00 per shot.

In addition there will be a limited number of spay and neuter appointments available but you must call to reserve an appointment.  Contact the shelter at 707-888-7698.

HHSA is proud to serve the community with the Care-a-Van outreach services, especially with prevention services to keep our pets healthy and happy!

For more information you may call the HHSA Animal Care Shelter at 707-463-4654.
