PAWS for SJACS, a volunteer group that raises money for the City of San José's Animal Care Center, runs low-cost vaccine clinics for dogs and cats.  The Silicon Valley Pet Project's events calendar lists three this month:  Tuesday, Nov. 10, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 14, 1 to 4 p.m.; and Tuesday, Nov. 24, 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.  Proceeds help animals at the shelter, the listing says.

Appointments are required.  PAWS says it does not take walk-ups and sends clinic dates only to people who sign up on its website, no more than three weeks ahead.  Its clinics mainly serve puppies and kittens getting their first vaccines, and space is limited.

Prices on the group's price list (effective Dec. 18, 2025):  rabies $20; the core dog vaccine DA2PP, a 5-in-1 shot, $20; the core cat vaccine FVRCP $20; feline leukemia $45; microchips $10.  Puppy and kitten packages cost $45 each.  PAWS usually gives two to four vaccines per pet and adds a $25 fee for a single vaccine.

Ask your veterinarian which vaccines your pet needs.
