While Stray No More’s Low Cost Spay/Neuter Program accommodates only domesticated dogs and cats, we often get questions asking, “Where can I go to get feral cats fixed?”. There are many opinions about how to manage the estimated 50 million feral and stray cats, also known as community cats, in the United States. Understanding this complex and emotional issue is essential to combating cat overpopulation.

Spay/Neuter Feral Cats
Feral cats require specialized care when taken to a vet due to their extreme, sometimes violent, reactions to being handled and transported. Most facilities require that feral cats be transported inside a trap as opposed to a cat carrier. It is advised to NOT attempt to transfer a feral cat from one container to another, as they can easily escape or injure themselves or you.
The following local area shelters or veterinarians will spay/neuter feral cats:
