One of the key LCHS missions is to “Provide spay / neuter services to reduce the number of homeless animals and enhance the health of homed animals.”  For every litter LCHS helps to prevent, five more shelter and rescue animals can be adopted.

LCHS conducts monthly low-cost transports for spay / neuter / vaccination services in partnership with No More Homeless Pets Kansas City.  LCHS covers the cost of the transport mileage, while owners pay for their pets’ procedures.  Some procedures are subsidized or paid for by LCHS based on need.  Please consider donating to help LCHS cover these costs.

Each month, rotating through the six cities in Leavenworth County, owners / caregivers bring their registered animals to a central location (Thursday 7 – 8:30am).  The pets are then transported to No More Homeless Pets Kansas City for their procedures.  They remain at NMHPKC overnight to ensure they are well-recovered, then return to the LCHS location, so owners can retrieve their animals the next morning (Friday 9:30am to 10:30am).  There are only 30 slots available each month, and owners must register NLT the Monday prior to the transport.

Register your pet or feral cat on-line for the location/date you desire or email LCHS with your name, address, phone, number of pets by species.  An LCHS volunteer will send you pre-surgery instructions and the exact location of your drop-off /pick-up point.
