Upcoming Spay/Neuter Event
We are partnering with Animal Balance to hold a large-scale 3-day spay/neuter clinic in early 2025: February 14-16, 2025!
Each day, the experienced, fully-licensed Veterinary teams from Animal Balance will spay and neuter 33 cats and 34 dogs in the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter’s “Annex” or “Education Center” building at 2260 7th Ave (just around the corner from our main shelter), for a total of 200 animals over 3 days!
- Core vaccinations and a microchip will also be provided, at our affordable Planned Pethood rates: $300 for dogs; $150 for cats
- Those on public assistance (Medi-Cal, CalFresh, SSDI, etc) can show proof of that assistance and pay reduced fees: $150 for dogs; $75 for cats
- Pets must be healthy, between 2 months and 8 years of age, and between 2 lbs and 80 lbs.
- Pets with very short noses (pugs, French bulldogs, Persian cats, etc) and those with medical issues need to be spayed/neutered at a full-service clinic.
- Dogs will need to be dropped off, wearing a secure collar and leash, at 8:00 a.m. the day of your appointment, and picked up in the afternoon.
- Cats will need to be dropped off, in a secure carrier, at 8:30 a.m. the day of your appointment, and picked up in the afternoon.
