Delaware Humane Assoc. provided free medical care to Rehoboth Beach community cats in June

Aug. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Delaware Humane Association’s mobile medical unit traveled from Wilmington to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware on June 8 and June 29, 2011.  More than 60 cats were spayed or neutered during these two visits, as well as given needed vaccinations.
These vital services were provided at no cost as a way to give back to the community, and made possible by funds raised at DHA’s 8th Annual Walk for the Animals at the Beach, held on April 30th in Rehoboth Beach.

DHA would like to thank the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company Station 2 for providing a place to park the van, and all of our sponsors and supporters who raised money for the Walk.

In addition to annual visits to provide these services to the Sussex County area , DHA regularly offers low cost spay and neuter surgery, vaccinations, and microchipping at their animal shelter and adoption center in Wilmington, and holds monthly Wellness Clinics in partnership with and on-site at Concord Pet Foods and Supplies stores throughout New Castle and Kent Counties. Low cost vaccinations and microchipping are available at these clinics.
