Low Cost Spay/Neuter Program & General Surgery

Pet overpopulation is a growing issue within the city of New Orleans. Our goal is to stop pet overpopulation and decrease the number of dogs and cats that end up in shelters. The Human Society estimates that roughly 3 million cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies entering shelters are euthanized each year. Unfortunately, many members of our community simply cannot afford the cost of surgery to sterilize their pet. This is why we have started our low cost spay and neuter program, to make these surgeries easy and affordable for everyone.

We honor the Jefferson Parish Voucher Program for all Jefferson Parish residents.

  • We require proof of rabies vaccination for all patient procedures (please provide the rabies certificate or medical record, not a rabies tag).
