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, 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. 

CPAA provides the spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, ear tipping, and parasite treatment for free to feral cats, but donations are appreciated.  For colonies of 10 cats or less, spay/neuter appointments will be scheduled at the offices of CPAA's participating veterinarians. 

Please visit www.alleycat.org for information on why spaying and neutering 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.
