According to the health department, KCAC doesn't require owners to have an appointment to take part in the clinic or future ones, and said all owners must verify their animal has not bitten anyone in the past 10 days at the time of the clinic.

KCAC said your pet must:

• Either be on a leash or in a carrier while at the clinic
• Be handled on the leash or in a carrier by an adult, 18 years or older.
• If your pet requires a muzzle, it is the owner's responsibility to provide it and to fit it on the pet prior to arriving at the clinic.

Costs during clinic:

• $20 for both rabies vaccine and registration/tag for neutered or spayed cats and dogs.
• $35 for both rabies vaccine and registration/tag for non-neutered or non-spayed cats and dogs.
• $10 vaccine for seniors; registration/tag is free.
• $15 for micro chipping. According to KCAC, micro chipping your pet is one way to bring your pet home if they should ever get lost, as most police departments and vet clinics can scan a pet with a chip scanner. KCAC added that all an owner needs to do is keep the chip company updated with any changes in information.

All forms of payment will be accepted. If paying by credit or debit cards, there is a 2.45 percent additional fee added to the total, KCAC said, according to the health department.

Other low-cost rabies vaccine and registration clinics will be offered:

• Wednesday, Sept. 11, from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
• Wednesday, Oct. 9, from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
