The Cat Mobile comes to QAS once a month. They are Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society’s Catmobile Program which is a subsidized mobile spay/neuter clinic designed specifically for cats. Their Catmobile is staffed by a veterinarian and technician, and can assist up to 30 cats a day. Since hitting the road in 2008, the MRFRS Catmobile has been responsible for spaying/neutering over 58,000 cats, making a significant contribution to the reduction of feline overpopulation in our region. All packages include a brief exam, spay or neuter, rabies vaccine, and FVRCP vaccine.

Please check their schedule to make an appointment, they tend to book quickly.
