Community Cats
Pet Friendly Services of Indiana offers Indiana-based shelters, rescues and TNR groups the opportunity to apply for our Community Cat Program (CCP) certificates. This program is designed to allow groups to prevent shelter intake through providing spay/neuter services for feral/community/barn cats living in colonies within our local communities. Shelters/Groups may receive up to 15 free certificates per year that provide for spay/neuter surgeries, rabies vaccines and MANDATORY eartip for colony cats.
These certificates are for groups only and are not to be distributed to individuals. Individuals interested in helping an outdoor cat may do so by applying for one of our SNAP certificates and checking the community cat box on the request form.
CCP certificates can be used at any veterinarian on our vet partner list that has agreed to provide such surgeries.
Approved groups may be eligible for certificates on an annual basis provided that all of the previously issued certificates from the prior year were utilized appropriately. Once awarded, certificates can be requested on an as-needed basis, keeping in mind that certificates expire four months from the issue date.

Trying to Find a Participating Vet Near You?
Select a vet based on the program you’re utilizing. SNAP vets are for limited-income Hoosiers. The Pet Friendly Plate Program (PFPG) vets are for rescue groups/shelters. Community Cat Program (CCG) vets will perform surgeries for limited-income Hoosiers with feral/free-roaming cats and for rescue groups/shelters. Some vets have very busy surgery schedules. Please make your appointment as soon as you receive your spay/neuter certificate, and be sure to mention you are using an Pet Friendly Services’ certificate.
