SNAP: SPAY/NEUTER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Spay Days

If you have a financial need for low-cost spay/neuter services for your family cat, we can help you help them!  In partnership with Maddie’s Fund we offer free spay/neuter services for qualifying companion cats in Dane County. To qualify you must have a Wisconsin Forward or Quest card and bring that along with a driver’s license or other photo ID at the time of appointment. There is a six cat limit per household per year. If you do not qualify for free services, but have a financial need for low-cost spay/neuter services we can still help. The cost for each cat is $30 by cash or check. All companion cat packages include an FVRCP vaccine.

Through Maddie’s Fund Spay/Neuter Project companion cat surgeries may also be scheduled through two other non-profit animal rescues or at participating private veterinary hospitals in Dane County.
