Low-cost spay/neuter for community and barn cats in Cattaraugus County

Feeding cats you didn’t plan on? We help caretakers get them fixed at local clinics, so the colony stops growing.

  • We help pay the clinic. Partner clinics in Olean and Salamanca do the surgery.
  • Fixed, vaccinated, ear-tipped. Every cat gets a rabies vaccine and a small ear-tip that marks it as fixed.
  • Cats go home. They return to the colony you care for. We don’t take in pets for surrender.

What happens after you apply

  1. We contact you to talk through the cats and your property.
  2. We arrange a clinic voucher and lend traps if you need them.
  3. You bring the cats in, then return them home after recovery.
