Free or very low cost birth control surgery is provided to pets living with low-income people. Most qualify because they are receiving public assistance, but others have special financial circumstances. Each case is evaluatated individually, and we err on the side of benefiting the animal and the community by offering spay/neuter to reduce animal overpopulation, increase the likelihood that the pet will be able to remain in the home, and improve our community's health.

We administer a 3-year rabies vaccine to every cat we fix, if they are at least 3 months old. This improves community health and protects the cat against this rare but deadly disease.

Our veterinarians will provide free or very low-cost professional care to sick or injured cats living with the poor. Any injured or sick cat can be evaluated by our veterinarian for free, or a low-copay for qualified low-income owners. We will cover all or most the cost, much of which will be donated by the vet, if the cat is expected to survive the injury or illness. If the vet feels the cat is suffering and humane euthanasia would be the most compassionate choice, Homeless Animals Relief Project will cover that cost. If the cat survives, we do require spay/neuter before the cat is discharged to the owner. We do ask owners to pay what they can.
