To help prevent the overpopulation of unwanted cats in our municipality, Council has joined with the Mount Alexander Animal Welfare, Castlemaine Vet Clinic, Healthy Pets Veterinary Clinic and Maldon Vet Clinic to establish a unique cat desexing program. The vouchers can be purchased by concession card holders for $50.00 for a female cat and $30.00 for a male cat.
The Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) in partnership with the Municipal Association Victoria (MAV) have also developed a scheme to help cover the cost of desexing cats and dogs for low income earners. These vouchers are available to people with a current Pensioner Concession Card, Health Care Card, Low Income Health Care Card or Commonwealth Seniors Health Card.
The vouchers can only be obtained if the animal is currently registered and vaccinated.
Vouchers can be purchased from the Civic Centre. Contact us for more information.
