Low Cost Spay & Neuter Programs
No matter how many spay/neuter clinics are available, there will always be a percentage of free-roaming or feral cats that won't be fixed. That is why CPAA purchased a spay/neuter van - so that we can take the veterinarian to the cat colonies and spay/neuter them on site. CPAA takes its spay/neuter van to locations throughout central Pennsylvania. It is well-established that the only effective, humane way to manage feral cat colonies is through TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release), which proactively prevents more cats from being born through spaying and neutering. If you have a colony of cats that is in need of spay/neuter, please contact CPAA at info@cpaa.info.
For surgeries in CPAA's spay/neuter van for free-roaming cats (colonies of 20 or more cats), the following fees apply:
$25 per male cat, which includes neuter, Rabies and Distemper vaccines, ear tip & parasite preventive.
$35 per female cat, which includes spay, Rabies and Distemper vaccines, ear tip, & parasite preventive. There is an additional $10 charge per cat if the cat is pregnant.
For smaller colonies and individual strays, spay/neuter appointments will be scheduled at the offices of CPAA's participating veterinarians, where the following fees will be charged:
$35 per male
$50 per female
$12 Rabies vaccine
$12 Distemper vaccine
Ear tip no charge
Please visit www.alleycat.org for information on why spaying and neutering (TNR - Trap, Neuter, Release) is the only effective, humane way to manage feral cats.
To assist with the trapping of feral cats, CPAA loans Have-A-Heart kindness traps. There is a $25 refundable deposit per trap. To borrow traps, email info@cpaa.info. For cats that cannot be trapped using Have-A-Heart traps, drop traps are available from Angel Pets at 717-921-2117.
Cats and dogs can't drive to the clinic - they need a little help getting spayed and neutered. Check out this great video on YouTube, created by the Alliance for Humane Action (AHA). To see the video, click here.
