Most communities have a variety of low or no-cost spay neuter options.
When I first moved here I had no idea where to find them as I did in Philly. When I got my new cat, I did two things.
Of course, I Googled the phrase “low income spay neuter” along with my zipcode.
Secondly I put up a post in the pet adoption section section of the local Craigslist asking for that along with recos for good vets.
Then I just spent an afternoon on the phone calling each lead. To my great surprise, there was one option for a local S/N clinic held once a month for a donation of $20.
Yup, that’s only one zero instead of the normal vet charge in the hundreds. Definitely worth an afternoon of my time.
And in Philly, there was a shelter which offered vouchers for only $40 along with a list of participating vets who would accept if as full payment.
Plus, I had a female cat which is normally far more expensive than a male dog.
But it doesn’t matter where you live. There are usually several groups dedicated to providing affordable S/N to prevent pet overpopulation.
The one I used was listed on a National site divided up by regions. So that’s why I prefer the double approach of Google as well as local CL.
I’m sure you can find am affordable alternative. It just takes a little persistence and flexibility in scheduling.
I would have preferred a voucher system similar to what I used in Philly since you can choose a vet yourself. But evidently that’s not available here. Spay days are the usual around here but I sure couldn’t argue with the price.
I know that in some places they use mobile vans which have full operating facilities and schedule different neighborhoods on a rotating basis. Very convenient. Wish they had that here.
But anyhow, with a little scouting and research I’m sure you can find something affordable for you. Good luck.
