HILLSDALE, Ind.  – On Tuesday the Parke/Vermillion County Humane Society held a free spay and neuter clinic for feral cats.

The services were free of charge, and it’s all thanks to a grant the shelter received.

It allows feral cats to be spayed, neutered and given rabies shots.

87 feral cats were signed up for treatment at the clinic on Tuesday.

There have been nearly 250 cats fixed this year.

It is hoped that the more cats that can be fixed, the fewer unwanted animals will wind up at the shelter in the future.

The shelter is working to plan another upcoming spay and neuter clinic in September.
