Spay/Neuter Programs

 

The City of San José offers a low-cost spay/neuter clinic at the San Jose Animal Care Center. The clinic operates by appointment only.

TO REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT, CLICK HERE.

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.

Appointments are available Tuesday - Friday. All tame/owned cats must have an appointment. Kittens must be at least 12 weeks of age. Low-cost vaccinations and microchips are available to cats at time or surgery. Please inquire about prices. All cats must be in individual pet carriers or traps.

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.) All feral cats will be ear-tipped. Special rate only available to residents of San José, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Milpitas or Saratoga.


Dogs
The City of San José's low cost spay/neuter clinic is not accepting dogs for surgery at this time.
