Public Spay/Neuter FAQs
Payment will be collected prior to surgery. All animals will be returned to their guardians the same day as surgery.
Last Litter Program
Through our Last Litter Program, we are able to offer free spay surgeries for cats and dogs that are brought to our shelter with adoptable litters. Your mama cat or dog is spayed in our clinic, and she returns home with you the same day.
The kittens or puppies are surrendered to our shelter where they will be examined by our veterinarian, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before being adopted.
This program is subject to available space and resources. To learn more about this program, or to apply for assistance, please visit our Last Litter Program info page.
