Pet of the Week-HELGA

Eleven-year-old Helga thinks age is just a state of mind. This sweet senior wants a quiet retirement with a laid back family or companion. Helga is a bit deaf, very gentle and a great leash walker. Meet her today at Williamson County Animal Center.

FREE SPAY/NEUTER CLINICS FOR OUTDOOR CATS CONTINUE – Four dates in October

The Williamson County Animal Center (WCAC) is pleased to announce the addition of four spay/neuter clinic dates for outdoor cats: October 6, 13, 20 and 27.  The clinics are part of the shelter’s efforts to stop pet overpopulation by sterilizing 2,020 cats in 2020.  Any cat that goes outside, including a family pet,  is eligible for a free spay or neuter, microchip, rabies shot and ear tipping as part of the shelter’s ongoing Community Cat program.

There are an estimated 50,000 community cats in the county, and residents are encouraged to help reduce that number by bringing cats to the free clinics. Traps, if needed, can be rented at the shelter for a $50 refundable deposit.

To make an appointment for one of the clinics call the shelter at 615-790-5590, ext. 1823. Appointments are required, and space is first-come, first-serve.  The free spay/neuter clinics are for Williamson County residents only, and proof of residency is required.

Williamson County Animal Center is located at 106 Claude Yates Dr., next to Franklin High School.  The adoption center is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  Adoptable animals can be viewed at www.adoptwcac.org or on Facebook.
