2022 Free Cat Spay/ Neuter VouchersFor Lower-Income Pet Cats in New Mexico
If you need financial help to fix your indoor companion cat, call us at 505-466-1676 to complete a phone application.
If it is approved, we will mail you a voucher you can use at participating veterinary clinics for a free spay or neuter including the extra charges for pregnant, in-heat, or inguinal cryptorchid surgeries. In addition to covering the surgery, the vouchers also pay the full cost of a brief day-of-surgery exam, post-op pain medication, and rabies vaccination.
Many, but not all, clinics may also include a free FVRCP vaccination, microchip, and treatment for any visible parasites on the day of surgery.
"I appreciate this foundation so much. It's hard to believe how expensive it is to be responsible for your pets. I got little Taco spayed with this help and would not have been able otherwise."
