Spay & Neuter Cost Assistance
If you are contacting us about spay and neuter assistance, please understand that we are currently receiving a very high volume of requests for a limited number of monthly vouchers. We will return your call in the order it was received and cannot guarantee vouchers will be available when you call. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Spaying or neutering your pet is the first step in making sure they live long, happy, and healthy lives. It is also the biggest tool we have to help fight the problem of overpopulation and the suffering of animals that result from that. Working with our veterinary partners, CFA offers vouchers to help reduce the cost of spay and neuter procedures for owners facing financial hurdles in paying for the operation.
CFA offers a limited number of spay and neuter vouchers to qualified individuals. To receive a voucher, owners must call and confirm they qualify. To qualify for a CFA Medical Voucher, an owner must:
Reside in Thurston, Mason, Lewis, or Grays Harbor Counties and
meet income requirements.

How much does a spay or neuter procedure cost?
Spay and neuter procedure costs will vary from vet clinic to vet clinic, and may go up or down depending on your pet's health needs, allergies, pain management options, etc. We recommend you call multiple clinics to get estimates as the price can be anywhere from $150 - $700+.
How old does my pet have to be to get spayed or neutered?
Most veterinary clinics have an age or weight guideline that will dictate when they are able to perform the spay or neuter procedure for your pet. Discuss with your veterinarian what the best situation would be. If you're looking for a veterinarian, check out the Our Veterinary Partners page to see who CFA works with near you.
Why should I get my pet spayed or neutered?
Responsible pet owners should strive to keep their pets from suffering unnecessarily and adding to pet overpopulation. Unplanned pet pregnancies can have terrible medical complications and spaying female dogs and cats eliminates the possibility of uterine or ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the incidence of breast cancer. In addition, removing your pet's babies can be an emotionally painful experience for your pet. It is best to proactively protect your pet from this pain.
