Low-Cost Spay Neuter
The Humane Society of Yates County takes pride in the low-cost spay/neuter program for income-eligible pet owners. Not only does this program reduce the number of stray and unwanted animals in our community, but it also improves their quality of life by providing numerous medical and behavioral benefits.
Program ELIGIBILITY & Requirements:
Pet owners must be income-eligible and provide proof of income with their applications. Specific details regarding income qualification are subject to change and will be determined at the time of your application. Pet owners currently receiving income-based public assistance (i.e., SNAP, Medicaid, SSI/SSD, disability, etc.) are generally considered good candidates for this program.
Proof of Rabies and Distemper/Parvo vaccinations are required prior to surgery if your pet has been previously vaccinated. If your pet has not been vaccinated, it will need to be on the day of surgery. At this time, that cost is waived for you (subject to change).
Feline spay/neuter procedures cost $50 per animal.
Canine spay/neuter procedures cost $100 per animal .
Possible additional charges may occur if the animal is already pregnant or has another condition identified at the time of surgery.
Note that nursing females will only be eligible for this program after their babies have been weaned, are not in heat, and have not nursed for 2 weeks.
How to Apply:
Provide proof of income (i.e., most recent W2 form or 2 most recent pay stubs) and, if appropriate, a statement of approval of benefits from any assistance program (including, but not limited to, form SSA-1099). This information will be kept in the strictest of confidence.
Proof of rabies/distemper vaccinations should be provided at the time of application or you may be liable for the cost of those vaccinations prior to surgery.
Once all documents have been received and reviewed you will:
receive a denial letter/email (if you do not qualify for the program) or,
once a date has been set for your pet’s procedure, you will receive a call or letter with that date and further instructions on preparing for the procedure. Due to limited surgery slots, you are unable to choose the procedure date. We ask that you please make a plan in advance to ensure your pet arrives on the day they are scheduled.
Note: If you have not heard from us, please reach out! email:hsycnathaniel@gmail.com or 315-536-6094
After submitting the application with all necessary documentation, you will be contacted when clinics are scheduled.
Remember, this is an income-based program.
