Be Part of the Solution
"Public awareness on the importance of
spaying and neutering is the key to
alleviating dog and cat overpopulation.
Once individuals are educated on
the
seriousness of the overpopulation problems,
then the spay/neuter solution will really work."

PRE-PAY SPAY/NEUTER CERTIFICATES:
We now offer the option to purchase spay/neuter certificates with a credit or debit card through PayPal! Please be aware that this process can take up to 2 weeks to get your spay/neuter certificate in the mail. There is also a minimal processing fee. Once you get the spay/neuter certificate in the mail, you must call to set-up the appointment with us. You will be asked for the certificate number. If your cat needs a distemper vaccine, flea treatment or dewormer pill, this can be cash-paid the morning of the appointment.
