The Village of Milan Declared "Milan Spay Day"

(Milan, IL) – On Tuesday January 19, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. Mayor Duane Dawson read a proclamation declaring Tuesday, February 23, 2010 "Milan Spay Day". The Village of Milan board meeting was held at the Milan Municipal Building located at 405 E. 1st St. Milan, Illinois.

The simple objective is to encourage not only Milan residents, but also residents of the Quad Cities and surrounding area, to take responsibility for their pets by having them spayed or neutered. Pets who are spayed or neutered are healthier and do not add to the heartbreaking tragedy of the pet over population. A spay or neuter surgery carries a one-time cost that is relatively small when you consider the benefits. Your pet will live a longer and healthier life.

To mark this important date, the Quad City Animal Welfare Center will offer $5.00 cat spays and neuters to twenty four Milan residents, made possible with the support of the Village of Milan. Appointments will be scheduled for Tuesday, February 16 and Tuesday, February 23. To schedule a $5.00 cat spay or neuter please contact the Quad City Animal Welfare Center low cost high quality clinic at 309-787-6830 ext.26 and mention "Milan Spay Day". Pet guardians who are not eligible for the program described above, may take advantage of low-cost, high quality spay and neuter program by calling 309-787-6830 ext.26.
