Spay/Neuter Assistance

Approximately 5,000 cats and dogs are euthanized in our community each year due to overpopulation. The problem can seem overwhelming, but there is a way to help reduce the number of unwanted cats and dogs entering shelters in Monterey County. The way you can help is to spay or neuter your pets. Thank you for being part of the solution. Spaying and neutering is the humane, safe, responsible thing to do!
