MONROE - Each year, the Green County Humane Society, Monroe, teams with Everyone Needs a Home, South Wayne, to offer four free spay/neuter days for cats to help stop the cycle of overpopulation.
GCHS contracts with the Dane County Humane Society's mobile spay/neuter unit to provide alteration surgeries. The surgeries are funded by a grant from United Way of Green County.
Residents from Green and Lafayette counties with financial need are eligible to participate in the program. The next clinic date is Friday, Aug. 24.
While Lafayette County's registration process will remain the same, Green County's registration process has changed. Lafayette County residents can register by calling (608) 543-3637 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 13.
Green County residents may begin registering at any time by following these guidelines:
1. Applicants must print and complete the application located at www.greencountyhumane.org or at the shelter, 1500 6th Ave. There is a limit of two cats per applicant, per year. Feral cats are not accepted into this program.
2. Return the completed application to the shelter by either dropping it off at the shelter; emailing it to shelter@greencountyhumane. org; faxing it to (608) 325-9608; or mailing it to P.O. Box 54, Monroe, WI 53566.
3. The application will be reviewed and applicants will be notified of the status of their application. The application is only good for the clinic date applicants apply for.
