Trap, Neuter, Return

Medical Services

TNR Services will resume in the Spring of 2023.

Lake Humane Society is offering low cost Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) services for Lake County residents.

TNR is the humane approach to addressing community cat populations. TNR improves the lives of cats, addresses community concerns, reduces complaints about cats, and stops the breeding cycle.

Scheduling

TNR appointments are currently being scheduled for Tuesdays.  All animals must arrive at the clinic between 8:00 AM-9:00 AM on the day of their scheduled appointment. All cats must be community or feral and arrive in a humane trap. If a trap is not owned, Lake Humane Society will provide one for free with a credit card on file. Your credit card will only be charged if the trap is not returned. After surgery, cats are picked up the same day between 3:30 PM -4:00 PM

Please email scheduling@lakehumane.org or call 440-951-6122 X116 and include number of cats, approximate age and the best phone number to reach you.

Please note: Lake County residents are given scheduling preference based on demand.

Cost

The cost for TNR is $35 for Lake Co. residents and includes the following:
– Spay or neuter surgery
– Ear-tipping

Services upon request for an additional charge include:
Rabies vaccination, FVCRP vaccine, FELV/FIV Snap test, Topical flea treatment, Tapeworm injection

LHS Closed to the public

Updated: 12/20/22

Last week, in cooperation with a local police department, Lake Humane Society aided in the rescue of six animals from a humane investigation. Unfortunately, one of the dogs from the rescue has tested positive for the canine parvovirus. The dog is in quarantine and currently doing well under treatment.
Because this disease spreads rapidly, and has a 14-day incubation period, out of an abundance of caution for the health of LHS’s animal population, LHS shelter is closed for the next 14 days. The next two weeks will allow our staff to monitor and assess the health of our animals. We will provide updates as they become available.
Canine parvovirus is a rapidly contagious viral disease that can affect any and all dogs that have not been fully vaccinated. It is vitally important that LHS prioritizes the health and well-being of the animals, staff and volunteers within our shelter walls and yours at home. LHS vaccinates all dogs that haven’t been vaccinated on arrival in an effort to protect them from many diseases, parvovirus being one of them, and clean the shelter with disinfectants to combat the spread of disease.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for supporting our mission in protecting pets and people.
We will be doing adoptions with our animals that are fully vaccinated and showing no signs of illness. Some restrictions will apply, however, if you are interested in adopting, please email adopt@lakehumane.org so our team can discuss in more detail.
REGARDING AUGGIES PET FOOD PANTRY: we will still be operating Wednesday, December 21st from 1-3pm as the annex building has not been exposed to parvo.
