Affordable Spay/Neuter

  

CatSNIP Clinics are geared to the needs of pet cats and tame strays. These are high-volume, subsidized clinics for financially challenged households eager to have this vital, one-time service performed. Cats that are spayed and neutered generally become far better house cats and are less prone than unaltered cats to many nuisance behaviors, such as fighting, spraying, yowling, and aggressively seeking the outdoors. Other minor medical services are available in conjunction with spay and neuter procedures.

Our affordable spay/neuter program helps by:

  • Reducing the number of unwanted kittens
  • Reducing the incidence of disease carried by stray animals
  • Reducing the number of companion pets put to death at animal shelters
  • Reducing the number of car accidents caused by stray animals running loose on the street
  • Reducing the suffering and death of cats and dogs who are abandoned, dumped, neglected and abused

We also believe that the quality of life for all companion animals and people improves as the number of unwanted animals is controlled.

Why are SCFAW clinic prices so affordable?
Our low pricing is made possible by the support of our participating veterinarians, the devotion of our volunteers, and the generosity of our donors. The veterinarians provide their time, services, medical facility, and staff. Our volunteers donate their time and manage all the administrative details for the clinics, such as taking and returning client calls, setting up schedules, checking cats in and releasing them from the clinics, and handling all required paperwork. Our donors provide the additional financial support necessary.
 
What information should I know to be prepared for my cat to attend a clinic?
Once your cat is scheduled to attend a clinic, please refer to these detailed instructions.
 
Does SCFAW offer spay/neuter services for pet dogs?
No. Discounted canine spay and neuter services are available through Clinton Veterinary Hospital. To make an appointment, please call them directly at 978-368-9047. You can also read about this program online.
 
I have seen untamed (feral) cats in my area. Can they be spayed or neutered at a CatSNIP Clinic?
No. However, to meet the unique clinic needs of feral cats, various organizations operate special feral cat spay/neuter clinics. These clinics are typically held on Sundays with an all-volunteer staff of veterinarians, technicians, and other volunteers, enabling services to be provided free of charge.
