Spay and Neuter Help

RE: Spay and Neuter Help Post By Susanne (Guest Post) (08/05/2005) Check with your local Animal Shelter about the low cost spay/neuter programs for low income families. You usually can have it done at your own veterinarian, but you receive a voucher from the organization. Your shelter would know if there was such a program in your area.

This was a Godsend for us. You can make a donation for more if you want, which is only fair. Call your local Humane Society and ask what they charge. I assumed that mine was going to charge $60, the fee they charge to adopt a pet. They offer this service to prevent more unwanted strays. They also gave them their shots and a flea treatment at no charge.

The cycle will continue on you forever unless you take care of this situation. The spay/neuter & shot fees are all part of responsible pet ownership, as much as food & water. With these services your cats will be so much happier & healthier. Would you like to have 4-5 babies every year forever? Please, find a way, there's a lot of good advice on this page. Call pet stores for info & local animal rescues in your area for help. It's much more expensive (not just $) in the long run to allow the cats to continue breeding. Best wishes, Bonnie. We wish you & the kitties well. RE: Spay and Neuter Help Post By Jeneene (Guest Post) (07/26/2005) Our town, like many others, has a CatSnip program. They give you a certificate, and with it it costs $5 for girls and $10 for boys to be spayed/neutered at the clinic at the SPCA. Look online, ask around, maybe put a notice in Craigslist or any other list that operates in your area. If nothing else, ask local cat shelters if they have any funds to help you with this. It would be a very sad shame to give up the cats you love because you can't afford spaying. Good luck.

RE: Spay and Neuter Help Post By sandy (Guest Post) (07/25/2005) if you take the kittens to give to the spca they will do the spaying tto no cost to you. it is the person who does the adopting that would pay for the spaying. just think of all the cats that wont struggle for life once you have her spayed. go to the spca and ask if you could volunteer in exchange for services.
