Spay & Neuter
 One of the goals of HATS is promoting the spaying of companion animals
in Isabella County. The pet overpopulation in Isabella County is an
extreme problem, the largest contributing factor to the high euthanasia rate of healthy animals in our county. A recent survey of 186 shelters
revealed an average cost to taxpayers of $176 to handle each homeless
animal.
If you live in Isabella County, or on its borders, or are a student in
Isabella County, you may request spay or neuter assistance from the
Humane Animal Treatment Society (HATS). HATS will pay a portion of each
spay
or neuter surgery for companion cats and dogs. HATS will make payment
directly to your veterinarian and pet owners will be responsible for the
rest of the bill.
(Click here for a list of participating
veterinarians.)
To request a money saving certificate which covers a portion of the
spaying or neutering, please send a self-addressed 4" x 9" business size
envelope with correct postage on it to:
HATS
P.O. Box 732
Mt. Pleasant, MI 48804-0732
Along with your request, please include the following:
- your telephone number
- if your pet is male or female
- if your pet is a dog or cat
- and your pets name
When HATS
receives your request, you will receive a numbered, dated certificate
that must be used within 60 days. Certificates are not transferable.
Complete instructions will be sent to you with the certificate. Please
obtain the certificate *before* making your vet
appointment, as it may take up to several weeks to receive your
certificate. HATS will make this offer available as long as we have
funding for this program. Click

friends and family how important it
is to spay or neuter their pets, too!
