Maui Humane Society to hold vaccine clinic

PUUNENE – In response to cases of feline panleukopenia recently diagnosed in Kahului and Upcountry, the Maui Humane Society (MHS) will hold a vaccine clinic for the general public.

The vaccines administered will be a standard feline core vaccine that includes protection against the panleukopenia virus and also includes the herpes and calici viruses that cause upper respiratory disease in cats.

All cats without permanent forms of identification will also receive microchips. Microchips provide a permanent means of identification and help MHS reunite pets with their families if they should ever be found as strays.

Vaccines and microchips are available by donation at the clinic on Saturday, May 16, from 8:30 a.m. to noon. The intent is to accommodate everyone who checks in by noon. The clinic will be held in the MHS modular building behind the main shelter. Parking will be available next to the building or along the roadway.

These clinics are for all friendly, tame cats. Cats and kittens should be at least six weeks old, and all cats should be transported in secure carriers. For everyone’s safety, cats in improper carriers will not be accepted. Carriers are available for rent from MHS, and cardboard carriers can be purchased at the shelter ahead of time for $10. Call MHS for vaccination options for feral cats.

For the latest updates, visit www.MauiHumaneSociety.org or call MHS at 877-3680, option 3.
