Spay & Neuter Clinic

SVACA’s Spay and Neuter Clinic alters domestic CATS and chihuahua and pit bull breed DOGS between 4 months and 7 years of age for residents experiencing financial hardship who reside in Santa Clara, Campbell, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno and Mountain View ONLY. Qualifying residents can request services by completing the Spay/Neuter Request Form. We will contact you to schedule surgery if your companion animal qualifies and as we can accommodate your request. 

Spaying or neutering has many benefits such as: prevents the addition of more animals to the overpopulation problem, increases the likelihood that a companion animal will live a long and healthy life, and reduces the chance of unwanted behaviors, i.e., spraying in cats and roaming in dogs.
