As part of our plan to end animal abandonment in San Francisco (read about Vision 2020), the SF SPCA is offering FREE spay and neuter surgeries for all cats belonging to individual San Francisco residents through February, 2013.

We continue to offer San Francisco residents free spay/neuter for their Pit Bulls and Pit Bull mixes. The SF SPCA spays and neuters free roaming/feral cats at no cost to the caretaker all year. Learn more about our Community Cats spay/neuter services.

Top reasons to spay or neuter your cat:

• May increase life expectancy by 1 to 3 years by greatly reducing the risk of cancer
• Curbs the urge to roam, thereby decreasing the risk of contracting diseases or getting hit by a car
• Helps reduce companion animal overpopulation

Call us today at 415-554-3030 to schedule an appointment. Please mention this offer when you book the appointment.

The following terms and conditions apply to this spay/neuter offer:

• This is a limited time offer. To qualify for a free spay/neuter of  your cat, the surgery must be scheduled for a date in January or February, 2013. Any appointment scheduled for a date  outside of January 14 – February 28, 2013 will be charged according to  SF SPCA regular service rates. Appointments scheduled outside of that period  may be eligible for reduced service fees, as determined by the SF SPCA  and each individual client’s economic situation.
• Spay/neuter of cats only. No other animals qualify for this limited  offer. The SF SPCA only performs spay/neuter surgery on  healthy animals under seven years old.
• The SF SPCA has a limited number of free spay/neuter  appointments available. Spay/neuter appointments will be scheduled on a  first come, first served basis. Once all appointments are filled, no  additional free spay/neuter appointments will be available.
• Spay/neuter appointment cancellations must be made at least 48 hours  in advance of the scheduled spay/neuter appointment by calling the SF  SPCA at 415-554-3030. If you cancel a scheduled spay/neuter  appointment, then you will not be permitted to schedule another free  spay/neuter appointment in January or February 2013. If the SF SPCA does not  receive at least 48 hours advance notice of appointment cancellation,  then you will be charged a $28.50 cancellation fee, which must be paid  before the SF SPCA will provide any services to your pet.
• If the doctor recommends necessary additional medical services (such  as hernia repair or easy dental extractions) or if you request elective  services (such as flea control and prevention products), then you will be charged for any and all additional  services according to SF SPCA regular service rates.
• The SF SPCA reserves the right to refuse to spay/neuter any dog or cat for  any reason. The doctor may decide to postpone surgery if your pet has  any condition that may complicate surgery. These issues will be  discussed during the check-in exam.
• The SF SPCA recommends that your pet be fully vaccinated prior to  surgery.  If your dog or cat is unvaccinated at the time of surgery, you solely  will be liable for any surgery-related infection.

We are committed to working toward ending cat and dog overpopulation  in our community and beyond. Your support would be greatly appreciated.  Please make a donation to help us fund this initiative.
