As an Open Door Shelter, no animal is ever turned away when it no longer has a home.  However, spaying or neutering your animals is CRITICAL for controlling the animal population.  Less unwanted litters = less abandoned animals in need of homes.

OUR SPAY DAYS AND SPAY/NEUTER SPECIALS


SPAY DAY INFORMATION:

We do a "Spay Day" once a month for CATS ONLY.
It is usually the third or fourth Wednesday of the month.

All surgeries are by appointment only.

Cost is $45.00 & includes spay/neuter, FVRCP & a rabies vaccination.
If the pet is already vaccinated the surgery is $25.00 but you MUST bring proof of vaccinations with you at drop off.

Drop off times for surgery are between 8:30am & 10am. The cat MUST be in a carrier!  Pick up times are between 6pm & 7:30pm.

The night before surgery the cat gets no food after 6pm and no water after midnight.

1. It's good for your pet. It reduces the risk of certain
reproductive cancers and diseases for both males and
females. Spayed or neutered pets also generally live longer
lives. For females, it eliminates the heat cycle and therefore,
the nervousness, blood and unwelcome males. For males, it
stops the mating desire, reduces mounting and the tendency
to roam.

2. It's good for you. Usually less expensive to license, a
discount is given if your pet is spayed or neutered. It reduces
the risk of unwanted litters. There will be no more problems
with blood stains, males breaking into your yard, pets running
away in search of a mate, and the job of taking care of and
finding homes for an unwanted litter. Your pet will be happier,
and so will you.

3. It's good for the community. Homeless pets often create
serious problems. They destroy property, spread disease and
cost a lot of money to control. It leads to overcrowding in our shelter and overcrowding puts a strain on the resources that we can provide to animals while they wait for homes.
