This clinic is exclusively for residents of Cleveland and East Cleveland. It will cater to pets aged six weeks to six years, as they are considered to be at the highest risk and in need of preventative care. No appointments are necessary, but services will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis up to 100 pets.
Pet owners should bring their pets' vaccination records if available. Dogs must be leashed and cats should be in carriers during their visit. The following vaccinations will be provided:
- **Dogs:** Distemper/Parvo Combo, Rabies
- **Cats:** Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis/Calicivirus/Panleukopenia Combo, Rabies
Additionally, both cats and dogs can receive free microchipping through Cleveland Animal Care and Control. The event will also feature informative pet care resources and friendly veterinary staff.
Cleveland APL President and CEO Sharon Harvey emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating, "This is a much-needed opportunity for families to safeguard their pets and stop preventable illness from spreading in our community." She acknowledged the collaboration with The Salvation Army in making this critical service available.
The clinic will also provide treats and giveaways for attendees. For further details, visit clevelandapl.org.
