Due to COVID-19 we are waiting for an upcoming date. Unfortunately our clinics will be much smaller starting out. Please be patient as we are revamping our entire program.
You will be scheduled according to space and those that registered first will obviously be first considered. Pregnant cats will get the highest priority. Our new program will be curbside service only. Please read below and click on "Clinic Scheduling Button (green).
All clinics are held at the Shelby County Humane Society at 400 Hudson Blvd. Shelbyville.
This year we are changing the way clinics are conducted. The following is required, we will make NO exceptions. Please read.

This year we are changing the way clinics are conducted. The following is required, we will make NO exceptions. Please read.
- Only Shelby County, KY residents can participate.
- Our clinics are for Outdoor Cats only, NO indoor permitted.
- All cats will come to our clinic in OUR live catch release traps only, that WE issue to you. You cannot bring cats in your own traps, or carriers or wire cages. If you come to our clinic in any cage other than what we issue out, you will be turned away. We had to revamp the way clinics are conducted to make it safer for the cats and our volunteers. The other cages are too big and present trip hazards and are very dangerous to sedate a cat safely. Our liability insurance requires this standard of operation in order to have coverage.
- All cats will be ear tipped, this is done while the cat is under sedation. No exceptions.
- No cat(s) can come to our clinics in trunks of cars or open bed pickup trucks.
- No one will enter the building under any circumstances, this is for your safety and our liability. The building we utilize is not our own so we must protect the Humane Society as well as CatSnip. All colony caretakers/clients/registrants will conduct all business outside of the building. Our volunteers will come to you and pick up necessary paperwork, traps and monetary donations via cash, cc or check. You will call us at 502-220-0271 when you get to trap loan out and registration and we will assist you and you will call us when you come to pickup the cats post surgery and we will do the same.
- All patrons will be asked to make a financial donation of whatever you can afford to give. A suggested amount is $30 per cat. We are a not for profit and our cost to spay a female cat is $35 and to neuter a male is $30. This includes the veterinary surgical fee, all surgical supplies and vaccines. We will work with you obviously regardless of what you can afford to donate.
- At trap issue you will be required to show a driver's license or id showing your current address.
- We will be limiting the number of cats that come to each clinic. If space is limited due to too many people registering, each registrant will only be allowed up to a maximum of 5 traps.
- If you need assistance with trapping, please comment on the form below. We are very limited with trappers and may not be able to assist.
- If you need immediate assistance please contact the Shelby County Humane Society for their bi-monthly clinics @ 502-633-4033. They do not require cats to come in traps. Also, you can contact the Snip Clinic in Louisville, Alley Cat Advocates in Louisville and Humane Society of Oldham County.
