Depending on demand, it could take up to 2-4 weeks to hear back from us. Make sure to leave a message, as we return all calls in the order that we receive them. Also, if you have tried online unsuccessfully for more than 2 weeks, please give us a call and leave a message. We are experiencing extremely high demand for cat spay/neuter surgery appointments, so please keep checking back on Mondays and Wednesdays until you are able to get a space. If you are looking to schedule more than 3 pets, a male pet with an undescended testicle, or a feral cat, please call the office at 61 option 1 and leave a message for a call back. New appointments will be made available every Monday at 7:45am and Wednesday at 5:00pm on our website. Vaccinations are recommended prior to surgery, but C-SNIP does not require cats and dogs to be up-to-date on vaccinations.ĭue to the high volume of calls, we are only able to book out 1-2 weeks and our schedule is limited, so it fills quickly. Cats and dogs must be at least 2 months of age and a healthy 2 pounds to be scheduled for surgery. C-SNIP specializes in pediatric spay/neuter surgery. Our services are targeted to those who are unable to access or afford traditional veterinary care.Ĭ-SNIP also offers limited vaccinations and additional services at the time of surgery.Ĭ-SNIP recommends spay/neuter by 4 months of age.

Thank you for speaking out for your community and for the animals within it.C-SNIP offers high-quality, reduced-cost spay/neuter services to dog and cat owners in the West Michigan & Lakeshore areas. Once a veterinarian is hired for this position, the SNIP clinic can reopen. There needs to be a budget funded and created to hire a veterinarian to perform spay/neuter procedures in order to get the SNIP clinic reopened and there are grant opportunities out there that must be approved by both city and county. Please sign this petition to request that the city of Florence and Florence County work in conjunction with Florence Humane Society to get the SNIP clinic reopened by approving grant funding. We are working with our County partners in an effort to gain support to make these programs successful. Grant opportunities for a TSNR program are being pursued, but most require both City and County participation. The issue is far greater than the City boundaries and a successful program must be county wide. We are supporting their efforts as we can. The Humane Society and Lucky Dog Rescue are two agencies that are currently working on methods to address the issues you speak of, not only at the City level, but throughout Florence County. The City works in conjunction with the Florence Area Humane Society, as well as other agencies, to address animal/pet issues within the City.

The City of Florence is aware of the closing of the SNIP facility in Florence County. ”Mayor Ervin forwarded your message to me. Here is city manager’s response to my inquiry about what the city is doing to address the SNIP clinic being closed: The city manager states they are doing what they can to reopen the clinic and must work together with Florence County to address the issue. It is absolutely vital to have access to a spay/neuter program to control the stray animal population.īy not taking steps to address this issue, this burden is left to be carried by residents in our city and county.

One thing that can be done to address the issue is to reopen the SNIP clinic immediately. Shelters are at capacity and struggling to manage the amount of animals they have. As many know, the amount of stray animals in Florence is a huge issue.
