Use our online request system for faster service. If you are unable to submit your request online, you can leave a message on our appointment mailbox by calling (408) 794-7201. We will contact you within 7 business days to schedule your appointment.

Please be aware that for some animals, the earliest available appointments may be up to 2 months away. We perform approximately 35 surgeries each day. We apologize for any inconvenience, and we greatly appreciate your patience.

Because our low-cost spay/neuter clinic operates below cost donations are welcome and appreciated. You can make your donation on-site or click here for mailing instructions.

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. 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.)
