Elk Country Animal Shelter's commitment to the companion animals of this area is strong despite having no shelter to house unwanted companion animals at this time. Thanks to the Montmorency Sheriff's Department stray dogs have a home, but cats have no where to go and are a huge problem in this county as well as our neighboring counties. When our shelter's doors finally open, we do not want to find ourselves overrun with unwanted cats. Due to this problem, Elk Country Animal Shelter believes the best way to decrease the cat population is by an active spay and neuter program. So we are bringing this service to you in May.
We will sponsor two clinics (May 13, May 20) with licensed veterinarian Dr. David Bullerdick and his MASH unit, a mobile pet hospital. As part of our commitment to the area's animals, the shelter is going to offer each pet owner who registers a five-dollar coupon to be used for a cat neuter or spay, and five dollars to each pet owner who also gets a shot package for his/her cat. Potentially, the owner of a male cat can get this pet sterilized and one year of shots for 45 dollars; a female cat would cost $75.00. We do not care if you have five cats--if they need to be sterilized, now is the time. It will decrease the cats in this area and the nuisance problems they bring from spraying to fighting to unwanted litters.
To register for one of these clinics , call (989) 786-5139 and leave a message, detailing the number of cats you want to register, what date or town you would prefer, and your phone number where you can be reached for an appointment time.

Vaccination Requirements for Felines
Cats must be at least nine weeks old or 2 pounds, so if you have young cats, let's get 'em done! Space for female cats is limited, but we will take as many male cats as we can. When bringing your cats to one of our locations, you must have them in carriers. One cat per crate! They will be dropped off at an assigned time and picked up approximately two hours later. Put your name, address and phone number on the crate.
If you only want shots, please call us and register. Shots will be administered between 11 and 12:00 P.M. at each location.
