Scott County Humane Society

Since 1981, Scott County Humane Society has offered the community a spay/neuter program targeting any free-roaming kitten or cat, whether it be feral, a barn cat, stray or an outside resident cat. Recognized as a "model program" by Two Mauds, Inc., Scott County Humane Society provides this program to ensure that any cat outside is spayed or neutere... d, vaccinated against Rabies, and is ear-tipped. The goal of TNR is to help humanely reduce overpopulation of cats in the community, and to consequently reduce the intake of cats and kittens into the county shelter and the subsequent euthanasia of kittens and cats at the county shelter. There are simply not enough adopters to provide lifetime homes for each homeless kitten or cat. Scott County Humane Society will provide a Fixed and Tipped voucher to any Scott County resident or caretaker wishing to spay or neuter any outside kitten or cat. A voucher(s) is good for 30 days from date of issuance. There is no limit on the number of vouchers a resident or caretaker may be provided. The voucher reduces the out of pocket cost to the following: If there is adequate funding of the TNR Program available, SCHS will consider further reduction of out of pocket costs when working with a caretaker of a colony. Who is Eligible: Any Scott County resident, 18 years or older, who is able to provide photo ID and proof of residency in Scott County.Read More
