Low-Cost Spay/Neuter

Spay and neuter can be very expensive at a private vet, but is the single most important thing you can do to help solve pet overpopulation. Preventing litters from being born means there will be more homes for all of the animals that are already in shelters. The cost can seem prohibitive, but thanks to these low-cost options everyone can afford to neuter their pets.


Help prevent the suffering of abandoned kittens.
