Residents rallied over the lack of affordable veterinary services in the Bronx Tuesday evening.

Roxanne Delgado, of the Bronx Animal Rights Electors, says the borough is desperate for veterinarian services.

Debora Maldonado, of Kingsbridge, says the line for people to get medical care for their animals from a mobile, low-cost veterinary lab in Fordham Heights usually starts at 5 a.m.

Some residents say they're protesting a recent decision from City Councilman Andy King, who voted "no" on a proposed animal shelter in Co-op City. That shelter would have offered low-cost veterinary services.

Leyla Barretto, of Fordham Heights, says she's had her kitten for 10 days and has been waiting for the mobile lab for hours.

King's office tells News 12 The Bronx that he listened to what his Co-op City residents wanted, and it was not an animal shelter.

The developers at 2050 Bartow Ave. in Co-op City say their property would better serve the needs of senior citizens and veterans.
