Free Vaccine at October 8 Cat Clinic!
​-----------------
Petco Love and Humane Society of Greene County Aim to Stop the Spread of Deadly Preventable Diseases As Part of Petco Love’s Initiative to Provide One Million Free Pet Vaccines, Humane Society of Greene County Will Host Spay/Neuter Clinic With Free Vaccines for Community Cats

Xenia, OH (September 21, 2022) – Humane Society of Greene County will provide free vaccinations for community cats in the Xenia, Ohio area. The organization is hosting a spay/neuter clinic for community cats on October 8, 2022. The Feline 1-HCP vaccine will be given to each cat, at no charge. The HCP vaccine provides triple virus protection for cats and is highly recommended.

The free vaccines are made possible through Petco Love's new national vaccination initiative, which is providing one million free pet vaccines to existing animal welfare partners, including Humane Society of Greene County, for pets in need.

Parvovirus and distemper in dogs and panleukopenia in cats — the most prevalent deadly diseases affecting pets — are preventable with a simple vaccine. An estimated 30% of pet parents do not take their pet to a veterinarian annually for preventative care. To ensure the health and wellness of our beloved pets and to address this critical need, Humane Society of Greene County and Petco Love have partnered to make pet vaccines free and accessible.

Greene County residents caring for community cats can, once registered, use the clinic to have them fixed at the low cost of $15 for males and $20 for females. The spay/neuter clinic on October 8, 2022, will be held at 187 Bellbrook Avenue in Xenia. To register for the clinic, call (937) 376-3001 or visit http://humanesocietygreenecounty.com/.

“Thanks to Petco Love, we can offer these important vaccines at no cost,” said Gail Schikora, Humane Society of Greene County Board Member. “We urge community members to take advantage of this no-cost resource to ensure the health and wellness of our community’s pets.”


“It is heartbreaking when any pet suffers or dies from a disease that could have been prevented. It is further exacerbated when unvaccinated pets come into busy shelter kennels, where these deadly diseases can spread quickly, resulting in multiple deaths, skyrocketing expenses, and hindering saving
pet lives,” said Susanne Kogut, Petco Love President. “By creating greater awareness and making this crucial preventative care more accessible to pets not currently receiving these lifesaving vaccines, we can prevent the dangerous spread of disease.”

9000th Cat!

The Humane Society of Greene County reached a milestone this month when it treated the 9,000th cat at its monthly spay/neuter clinic. Started in 2006, these same day clinics offer a low cost alternative for controlling the pet population and are available to any Greene County resident caring for outside cats, including strays, at a cost of $15 for male cats and $20 for females. Inoculations are also available for a minimum additional charge. In 2020 we serviced 1768 pets.

Spaying and neutering are vital in preventing pet overpopulation, especially with stray cats. A female cat may have up to four litters of kittens a year, many of which end up in animal shelters or are left to fend for themselves. And, it's just as important to neuter male cats since far-roaming males can create litters with any unaltered female in heat. It also greatly reduces their chances of injury from fighting, and curbs undesirable behaviors like spraying. Neutering is a minimally invasive procedure that provides a lifetime of benefits for both the cat and the community.

The Humane Society of Greene County also offers a second reduced cost spay/neuter program for both cats and dogs for low to medium level income families. In 2019, the total number of dogs and cats spayed or neutered through both programs totaled 1,846. They do not operate a shelter.

A 501(c)3 nonprofit group of local volunteers, the Humane Society relies on individual donations and receives no funding from local government or any of the national level animal related organizations.

The clinics are held the second Saturday of each month but you must register in advance. For more information, call the Humane Society at 376-3001 ​
