The Cabot Town Clerk’s Office remains open during normal hours Monday – Thursday, 8 am to 5 pm.  HOWEVER, that will be re-evaluated daily based on the evolving situation with COVID-19.  If you can, conduct your business with the Town Office via the phone, online, drop box or through the mail (including dog renewals), please do so.

WATER SYSTEM TRACE CHLORINATION STARTING MARCH 24TH:

Due to many of the Rabies Clinics closing because of the Corona Virus the Town of Cabot will waive the late fee for licensing your dog until May 1, 2020.  PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DATE FOR LICENSING IS STILL DUE ON APRIL 1, 2020.  You can do this by dropping a check in the mail, or we have a drop box right outside the door that you can put your check in made out to the Town of Cabot.  We will then register your dog and send back a copy of the license and the new tag.  The fee for this is $13.00 for dogs that are not neutered or spayed and $9.00 for dogs that are spayed or neutered.  Our mailing address is P. O. Box 36.  If you need to check to see if your dog’s rabies are current please give us a call at 563-2279.  The Hardwick Veterinary Clinic has set up two additional days for getting your dog vaccinated.  I am listing below the information:

Hardwick Veterinary Clinic will provide a Rabies Clinic on Saturday, March 28, 2020
from 8:30 am to 10 am. The cost is $20 and no appointments are necessary. Please follow our new procedures: DO NOT ENTER THE
BUILDING

1. Come to the second window at the front of the building to register – there will be
a sign. We will take care of all the paperwork and payment (which is $20 per
dog/cat). You will receive the Rabies Tag and printed Certificate. We will call
people in order of arrival/registration.
2. When called, you will bring your dog to the front door, hold their hind end toward
the door and the doctor will administer the Rabies shot.
3. If you have a cat, when called, you will bring your carrier to the front door. We
will take the carrier, administer the shot and return the carrier to you at the front
door.

Again, the Town of Cabot is waiving the late fee until May 1, 2020 but a reminder that the date for registering your dog is April 1.

PLEASE continue to follow the recommended guidelines of the CDC and the VT Department of Health: wash your hands, practice “social distancing”; avoid large gatherings; and if feeling unwell with symptoms of the virus, stay home and call your primary care physician. We have been told not to go to the Emergency Room or Express Care to call your primary care physician instead.  YOUR continued good health is the primary concern.  Stay healthy, follow the guidelines, keep positive, and know “this too will pass”.
