Rabies Vaccination Clinic For Dogs, Cats In Kane County

GENEVA, IL — Kane County Animal Control is running more low-cost rabies vaccination clinics for cats and dogs, according to the county's health department. The June clinic was Kane County Animal Control's best clinic ever, said Brett Youngsteadt, the center's administrator, so now they're following up.

There's no appointment necessary for the clinic; just bring your dog or cat to the animal control center's facility at 4060 Keslinger Rd. in Geneva on Saturday, Aug. 3, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Pets must be on a leash or in a carrier while at the clinic under the care of an adult at least 18.

For neutered or spayed pets, the cost for the vaccine and a registration tag is $20. The cost jumps to $35 for non-neutered and non-spayed animals.

Seniors pay $10.

The clinic will also offer microchipping for $15, which helps authorities find lost animals' homes.

According to American Humane, the first signs of rabies are notable behavioral changes, then later seizures and "vicious" behavior.

The next clinics will be:

• Wednesday, Sept. 11: 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
• Wednesday, Oct. 9: 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
