Resource Number: 17316559
Description
Animal Population Control Program (APCP) provides vaccination/sterilization benefits for pets adopted from municipal impound facilities, pets owned by low-income residents and non-profit organizations for feral cats. Eligible owners must be Connecticut residents and pay a $45 adoption fee at the pound entitling the person to a spay/neuter voucher and two coincident presurgical vaccinations. Low-income residents must establish eligibility through the Department of Social Services (DSS) for a free voucher and non-profits must be a registered 501C-3 organization to be eligible for feral cat benefits. Vouchers for pound animals and low-income pets are good for 60 days and can be extended by a participating veterinarian if the pet is too young or sick. Feral cat groups have seven (7) months for completion. The main source of revenue is a surcharge on all dog licenses ($6.00/unsterilized - $2.00/sterilized), the $45 adoption fee and a portion of the "Caring for Pets" commemorative license plate issued by the Dept. of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
