Free Spay/Neuter Surgery for Community Cats in 70114, 70131, and 70119

 Thanks to a generous grant from PetSmart Charities, the LA/SPCA is happy to provide free spay/neuter surgery for outdoor cats in zip codes 70114, 70131, and 70119! Due to high intake numbers for outdoor cats in these areas, we're targeting these zip codes in an effort to reduce intake and euthanasia of outdoor cats.

Community Cats provide many benefits to a neighborhood, but the biggest challenge is keeping their population in check. The answer to this is Trap-Neuter-Return, a program that focuses on controlling population growth as opposed to removing cats. This proactive approach enhances the cats lives while also reducing euthanasia rates at area shelters. You can get involved by fixing cats in your neighborhood, and now it's more affordable than ever. To learn more about this program, contact Heather Rigney, LA/SPCA Feral Cat Coordinator, at (504) 762-3306 or heather@la-spca.org. Trap rental is available. Free program includes Spay/Neuter surgery, rabies vaccine, and ear tip.

Free spay/neuter for outdoor cats in 70114, 70131, and 70119 is available through the following clinics by appointment.. All cats must be in humane live traps. For trap rental or purchase information, call (504) 762-3306.

LA/SPCA Foster Program

Become an LA/SPCA volunteer and enroll in our Foster Program. Help us socialize semi-feral kittens and cats who may just need a little extra TLC. The amount of attention and care these borderline animals receive is often the key difference in whether or not they are successfully adopted. Our foster program is always eager for new families to join, and accepts applications for people wanting to foster dogs, cats, rabbits and other pets. Help make a difference in an adoptable animal's life.

By joining the Caretaker Club, you become an official part of the caretaker community, with access to resources and the ability to network with other caretakers. This is an invaluable tool for caretakers who may have special needs and concerns, such as where to find someone who can colony-sit while they’re out of town, or who may want to find others in the neighborhood in order to pool resources. This is also the list of folks who will be priority notified for free or low cost spay days, donations of bulk cat food, and other great deals. Fill out the online application to become a member.
