Lawrence Township Health Department is set to host a free rabies vaccination clinic for dogs and cats.

The clinic is scheduled for 1 to 2:30 p.m. on Sept. 21 at Central Park Garage, Eggert Crossing Road, Lawrence Township.

Vaccinations are for pets that are at least three months old.

All pets must be on a leash or in a carrier and be accompanied by an adult.

The health department asks that no children under seven years old attend the clinic.

Volunteers who would like to assist in registration of the pets during the clinic should contact the Animal Control Office at (609) 844-7092.

In addition, September is cat license renewal month for Lawrence Township residents. Any cat over the age of seven months is required by law to be licensed.

Licenses are due by Sept. 30.

Cat licenses are renewed in the Municipal Clerk’s office. Proof of current rabies certification must be presented when a license is purchased by mail or in person. Proof of spaying or neutering is optional.

The fee is $11 if spayed or neutered and $14 if not spayed or neutered.

Effective Nov. 1, a delinquent fee will be assessed in the amount of $5 plus $1 per month for each month delinquent.

Applications are online lawrencetwp.com.
