Council offers $100 desexing voucher

To coincide with National Desexing Month, Maranoa Regional Council is offering cat and dog owners $100 desexing vouchers.

Managing unwanted litters is a considerable cost to the community. This causes unnecessary stress to the animals and people who are responsible to manage and rehome the newborns.

Cats and dogs desexed in July are less likely to be pregnant or in-season, which makes it a quicker and easier procedure for the animal as well, and less costly for owners. 

Cats in particular are prolific breeders having ten kittens each year on average. This can result in 111,111 kittens being born from one un-desexed cat in just five years.

Animal owners can contact Council from Monday, 1 July 2024 to receive their $100 desexing voucher.

Vouchers are limited to one per household and are only redeemable for registered and microchipped cats and dogs. 

Proof of both registration and microchipping is required.

The vouchers will be honoured at Maranoa Veterinary Surgery and Roma Vet Clinic and must be redeemed before Tuesday, 31 December 2024.

Residents should act quickly to avoid missing out.

For more information or to receive a voucher, please contact Council’s Community Safety Team on 1300 007 662.
