WHS Kenosha Campus now offering public low-cost vaccine clinics and spay/neuter services
Kenosha - The Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) Kenosha Campus is excited to share that they are now offering low-cost public veterinary services. WHS acquired the Kenosha shelter (formerly Safe Harbor Humane Society (SHHS)) in June 2023 after SHHS reached out about a potential merger. Since the merger, new positions have been added to the organization to support animals and families in the community, including a full-time shelter veterinarian.
As of January 30, 2024, low-cost vaccine clinics for cats and dogs will take place on Tuesdays at the WHS Kenosha Campus by appointment only, approximately every two weeks. Appointments can be booked online at https://www.wihumane.org/veterinary/vaccine-clinics.
Dog and cat vaccines available through WHS include: rabies: $16; DHPP (canine distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, parvo): $16; FVRCP (rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia): $16; and bordetella: $25. Microchipping is also available for $25.
Please note the following guidelines for the public vaccine clinics:
•Dogs must be on leash and cats must be in a carrier
•Please bring prior vaccine history, if applicable
•All animals must be healthy, not pregnant, and able to be safely handled
•If more than one animal is being brought, each pet must be scheduled for a separate appointment
•The animal’s guardian must be present to give vaccination consent or must complete an e-consent form authorizing someone else to bring in the animal on their behalf
In addition to public vaccine clinics, WHS has also launched the Spay/Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP) at the Kenosha Campus for cats. The goal of SNAP is to decrease pet overpopulation by reducing barriers to accessing spay/neuter services for those with a demonstrated financial need. The cost is $45 and includes a pre-surgical exam, spay/neuter surgery, pain medication, and nail trim. Appointments are limited to cats or kittens only, due to surgical capacity. Income guidelines apply; for details or to book an appointment for your cat, please visit https://www.wihumane.org/snapkenosha.
