Thanks to support from the Victorian State Government Animal Welfare Grants Program, Horsham Rural City Council is pleased to continue offering subsidised cat desexing to eligible residents - now extended until 15 September, or until funding is exhausted.
The out-of-pocket cost for the owner is just $45 per cat, which includes desexing, microchipping (if applicable), and first year registration. This subsidy can be claimed on up to two cats per household.
People wishing to benefit from this program must provide proof of Horsham residency, such as a driver's licence, utility bill or concession card with an accurate address.
Why should you get your cat desexed?
There are many benefits to desexing your cat.
A desexed cat is less prone to running away, less likely to fight other cats and less likely to spray around the home. Desexed cats are also less prone to certain cancers.
In addition to the health benefits, preventing unwanted litters helps reduce pressure on pounds and rescue groups.
Owners of desexed cats also receive a discount on registration fees.
