Monroe County Humane Association (MCHA) is overjoyed to announce its April event to help local cat and dog owners keep their animals safe and healthy.
On Sunday April 14, 2024, the Crestmont Community Center, 1007 W. N Summit St, Bloomington Indiana 47404, will be hosting a pop-up mobile vaccine clinic. MCHA’s amazing veterinary team of volunteers will be available from 1-3 p.m. with no appointment needed; all are welcome! Mobile Clinics offer a range of services, including legally mandated rabies vaccines for pets aged 12 weeks (about 3 months) and older. Additionally, clinics provide nail trims, anal gland expressions, microchips, and preventive measures for flea, tick, and heartworm. Subsidized rates are available to residents experiencing financial hardship. To qualify for these rates, residents should bring valid documentation with them to Mobile Vaccine Clinic. Safety is paramount. Cats must be in carriers, and dogs must be leashed (no retractable leashes). It’s essential for pet owners to understand that pets showing signs of illness or aggression might be turned away.
