Kisii County, in collaboration with the BOSCOVET Project Kenya (a non-governmental organisation), has launched a comprehensive four-day animal health campaign to vaccinate, neuter, and spray cats and dogs.
This initiative, running until the 27th of this month, aims to promote the health and welfare of small-scale animal farmers by offering these essential services at minimal or no cost.
Speaking to the Kenya News Agency (KNA), President of the BOSCOVET Project Kenya, Lilian Marube, expressed her satisfaction with the overwhelming response from the local community. "The locals have turned up in large numbers to benefit from this initiative, demonstrating the vital need for such services," she noted.
Vaccination against rabies, a potentially fatal disease for both animals and humans, is being offered at a highly subsidised rate of Sh50, significantly lower than the standard Shs 300.
