Feral Cat Program
We accept feral cats for surgery on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday on a walk-in basis. We are not taking any appointments for feral cats. The cats must be brought in on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday between 8:00am and 8:30am. Only truly feral (wild) cats qualify and they must weigh over 4 pounds. A feral is a cat that cannot be touched by humans. All other cats must make a surgery appointment. All cats must be in traps or pet carriers. All ferals in traps must be brought in with the trap completely covered by a towel to reduce the animals stress.
You can purchase a Feral Cat Program Package for $25 which includes spay/neuter (no additional pregnancy fee), Rabies, FVRCP, flea treatment, and earmite treatment (if needed.) All feral cats will be ear-tipped. Special rate only available to residents of the incorporated cities of San José, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Milpitas or Saratoga. |
