I hereby authorize performance of the following procedure(s) as part of the low-cost spay/neuter program, and understand the following:
1. The low-cost spay/neuter program consists of alteration (spay/neuter), vaccinations (age appropriate), and microchipping.
2. I understand that with my animal will be microchipped, if not already microchipped. I understand microchiping is mandatory. I further un-derstand, that with any microchip, the microchip is only good if the contact information is current. If I move, change my address, phone number, or email, I must notify A.P.E. and the manufactures’ database. Furthermore, I understand that if the animal is re-homed I agree to ensure to have the new owner/care provider register the microchip into their name, with both A.P.E. and the manufacture's database. I under-stand, if I fail to do this, I may be held responsible if the animal is found abandoned, stray, etc. I further understand, that if I do not, I can be subject to a $25 fee per microchip, for failing to do so. A brochure with registration info is available to me.
3. Cats from barn cat families and alley/stray/feral cats, may be ear notched / tipped upon request.
4. All cats will be given a thirty day flea preventative at no additional cost.
5. I give permission to Animal Protection & Education's volunteers, veterinarians, and veterinary support staff, to provide First Aid, or treat other ailments as they see fit. I understand this will be done at no cost. My permission will be only sought for non-emergency service that will require a fee.
6. All animals must be in sturdy carriers or cages - no boxes.
7. All animals must be picked up the same day - no overnights are allowed.
8. All animals must be withheld form food starting at 8 pm the night prior to surgery.
