Spay and Neuter Clinics to be held in Mecca and Thermal

MECCA – Riverside County pet spay and neuter clinics are coming to the eastern Coachella Valley, with one in Mecca on Friday and another on Saturday in Thermal.

The two events will provide spay and neuter procedures to a total of 60 dogs and cats, all free of charge to residents. Vaccines and microchips are also included.

There are limited spots still available for the services at both clinics. Appointments are required and can be made through the following links:

The events are the next in a series of Riverside County Department of Animal Services mobile clinics that Supervisor V. Manuel Perez has brought to unincorporated communities in the Fourth District.

“It is critical that we turn around the situation of overcrowding, a situation that all animal shelters are facing,” said Supervisor Perez. “That’s why we have invested in bringing these services to our unincorporated communities and to help our pet owners be able to spay and neuter their pets. And more clinics will be coming soon to a community near you!”

The spay and neuter clinics are funded through Fourth District Unincorporated Communities Initiative funding, allocated by Supervisor Perez.

Since November, the county’s mobile clinic has gone out to: Thermal, North Shore, Blythe, Indio Hills, Sky Valley and Carver Tract. The mobile clinic operates in the eastern county during the cooler season for the wellness of the pets.
