The Spay-Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP)
The Spay-Neuter Assistance Program is for limited-income pet owners. Pet owners meeting the eligibility criteria pay just $25 per surgery and can schedule their appointment with a vet in Pet Friendly Services’ statewide network after receiving their spay/neuter certificate.
The Community Cat Program is targeted to 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organizations that run Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs for community cats (feral and free-roaming). Free surgeries for feral cats help keep shelters empty and cats alive. The Community Cat vet package includes a spay/neuter, a rabies vaccination, and a MANDATORY eartip.
All you need to get started is a live trap, a staff member or volunteer who’s willing to help, someone in your community who wants help with their community cats, and a participating veterinarian.
The Pet Friendly Plate Program was established to provide rescue groups and shelters with FREE spay/neuter surgery certificates so they can alter pets before adopting them into their forever homes.
Public Vet is a traveling veterinary clinic that provides services to communities in need of low-cost spay/neuter. The cost per surgery is $100 and is for cats only.
Pet Friendly Services provides financial assistance at each Fix is IN! clinic, which allows discounts on a case-by-case basis. You can apply for a discount when you register directly with Public Vet.
