UPDATE: Our trap was returned to the shelter! It was picked up by a concerned neighbor.

We need your help! Keep your eyes out for a trap similar to this with GCHS and 812-847-4780 written on top!

A volunteer has been working to trap cats in their neighborhood to get them fixed and vacinated. They have trapped 7 over the last week. 3 were feral and were returned to their outside homes where they have access to food, water and shelter. The other 4 had been living under the volunteers shed and were scared but once trapped, were friendly enough to go through our adoption process!

Sometime early this morning, one of our traps walked away unfortunately. It was located in the SW part of Linton, not far from city hall. We hope that it was taken by a well meaning neighbor who thought the cats were being trapped to dump or kill! If so, we would love to talk to you about TNR and how it helps reduce the cat overpopulation issues while also keeping neighborhood cats in place where they can get access to food, water and care as needed.

If you happen to have our trap or see it, please return it back to us at the cheap ones currently cost $50/each to buy new! You can bring it to the shelter or just sit it back where you found it!

We are going to start posting more about TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) and try to increase our efforts to get cats fixed to prevent unwanted litters! With Pets Alive operating in Greene County now, we can get more cats fixed than we have been able to in the past!

If you would like to know more about TNR, have outside cats that you are caring for that need fixed or you think you may enjoy helping us trap and transport cats, we would love to talk to you! We really will need volunteers to help us make a difference!

Hope you caught us on the news tonight! We’re super excited.

GREENE COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Bloomington-based Pets Alive, a low-cost, high-volume spay/neuter clinic, has expanded to Greene County. “This is just the beginning, and I hope that we can …

Thanks to everything the Greene County Indiana Humane Society has done to help make the partnership a reality. We’re looking forward to helping spread high-volume spay/neuter to more of southern Indiana.

Exciting Day! Today we had the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Pets Alive at our location! A lot of work has gone into making this a reality and we are so glad that they are now fully operational!

PetsAlive is a non-profit spay/neuter clinic that will provide spay/neuter services to Greene County and surrounding communities as well as Wellness Clinics that will offer vaccinations.

They will be open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and offer spay/neuter surgeries by appointment. The Wellness Clinics will be on the same days from 4PM - 6:30PM and be available by walk-in.

To schedule an appointment, call (812) 349-1349 and make sure to mention that you want to schedule at the Greene County location.

PetsAlive is in the same building as us, located at 1026 N 1375 W, Linton, IN 47441. They are utilizing the south section of the building, their entrance is through the south door.

We are so excited to bring this opportunity to our community! Spay/Neuter is the #1 way to prevent homeless and unwanted animals!

We want to send a HUGE THANK YOU to all of our staff, volunteers, board members, and everyone else who had a part in making this a reality. To make room for PetsAlive, we had to rearrange all of our offices, surgery suite, break room, and more. We also had to install new areas for meet & greet, cat quarantine, and food storage in addition to remodeling an area to create a lobby and exam rooms for them. Hundreds of hours of work have gone into this project over the past 4 months, and most of it has been done by our staff and volunteers! We will post pictures soon of the finished areas and the progress leading up to it!

We also want to thank the Linton-Stockton Chamber of Commerce for coming out to the ribbon cutting!

Just a reminder that Pets Alive will be closed the entire week of Thanksgiving to give the staff some much needed rest and time with their families.

Hi, all,
We're in need of some new electric blankets and mattress pads for our surgery recovery area. We have a wish list here if you can contribute directly, but we'd happily accept donations at the clinic!

Hi, all! This week is National Vet Tech Week and we want to kick it off by giving a huge shoutout to our own Angie Tomlinson. Ang is a huge asset to our team, and we want to give her the recognition she deserves.
Here she is with her kids, Abby, the big girl, and Dutton, the puppy.
Please join us in extending our gratitude for everything she does to make Pets Alive such a great organization!

Hi, all! David here again. This will be a longer post, but I promise you'll want to hear about Dora the cat.

As a spay and neuter surgery and wellness clinic, we don't really see sick or injured animals. While that's truly important work, it's just not in the scope of our practice. But that doesn't mean our staff won't rise to the occasion when a rare situation happens. There are circumstances where an animal could sustain an injury, have an underlying condition, or get into something they shouldn't after surgery. These are rare events. In many ways, it's just like people.

Enter Dora, our miracle cat. Dora came back into the clinic yesterday because she was having trouble responding. The dedicated team here at Pets Alive was able to stabilize her in order to get her to a vet that was better equipped to handle a situation like hers.

I just wanted to share a picture of Dora here the day after her big adventure--active and lively--and to take a moment to celebrate the surgical team here, without whom Dora's miracle just might not have been possible.

Please join me in giving them a huge round of applause!

If you're closer to Linton than Bloomington, hopefully this is just right for you! Special thanks to the Greene County Indiana Humane Society for partnering with us!

One of our transport partners is doing a really cool fundraiser. Robin is a great guy to work with and we love our partnership with WRV! Please like and share and get the word out to help them reach their goal. We're all in this together!

10/10/2023

Monday November 6th we're doing an all-local day of surgery. This means we're opening up the surgery schedule to accommodate only members of the community and not just our transport partners. We still have spots available! Call us to reserve a spot or make your appointment online!
(Note: We will not be able to accept ferals for our TNR program on this day.)

Just the beginning!
