Free cat spay and neuter clinic near me

One of the most important health decisions a pet owner will make is to have their pet spayed or neutered. Spaying or neutering promotes a healthier life for your pet and saves you money. It also reduces overpopulation and euthanasia of unwanted animals.

New York City has many free or low-cost clinics and programs where pet owners can learn more and access services.

Post-Surgery Care Instructions for Your Pet

Please watch this short video about caring for your pet after their surgery.

Your animal may need an e-collar if she/he is licking or chewing at the incision site. These are available for purchase at our clinics on the day of surgery.  You may also obtain at either your primary veterinarians’ office or a local pet store. Your animal must be kept indoors and on low activity for 10 days following surgery. Dogs may go out for short, supervised leash walks to use the bathroom during that time. Your animal can not have a bath for 10 days after surgery. We recommend bathing and/or grooming your pet prior to the day of surgery if he/she is used to a regular grooming schedule.

Your animal will receive pain medications the day of their surgery.

Does SPCA treat animals for free?

We assist animals that come from indigent areas, who need dipping, de-worming, mange treatment and rabies vaccinations, at our kennels free of charge.

How much is it to spay a cat?

Private vets cost anywhere from $200–$400 for a spay/neuter procedure. You also have the option to bring your kitty to a lower-cost clinic. These are typically run by nonprofits and all surgeries are performed by licensed veterinarians. You'll probably take your cat home the same day they receive treatment.

Can I neuter my cat at PetSmart?

PetSmart offers reduced and low-cost spaying and neutering at its Banfield clinics or through any of the clinics that it partners with throughout the United States and Canada.

Is it cheaper to spay or neuter a cat?

In general, it tends to be more expensive to spay a pet than it is to neuter one. That's because neutering tends to be less complex. Spaying involves opening your dog or cat's stomach to access the animal's reproductive organs.
