Low Cost Spay/Neuter Options

In our area, the SNAP program helps us save 50% or more on spay/neuter costs. Your state probably has a similar option. You may also be able to go directly to your local shelter to get a reduced price on the surgery.
I found a few options that may help you get your dog or cat altered for around $50. (or even cheaper if you meet income eligibility requirements for some programs.) The first is a site called Spay-USA, which directs you to local programs for a number of states. Love That Cat has a list for almost everywhere in the USA. Low Cost Neuter and Spay offers resources for cat lovers worldwide.
I know it is hard to justify even $50 for a vet visit when money is tight, but with the price of shots, kitten chow, care for a pregnant cat and newspaper ads, this is one case where spending a bit of money at the vet can save you money in the long run.

Love the cat photo! Adorable.
Thanks Peggy. These kittens are very photogenic.
These are great programs. We got our 2 cats fixed a few months ago, and the discount program we went through made the go from $160 (100 for the female, $60 for the male) to just $10 each. We saved enough money to pay for their rabies shots & most of their booster shots.
Jerri,
That’s awesome. Way to save!
