Spay/Neuter Assistance

Guidelines

• A limited number of spay/neuter surgery appointments performed at Roice-Hurst Humane Society and spay/neuter vouchers redeemable at other local vet clinics are available on a first-come, first-served basis for pet owners who qualify based on financial need. After the monthly limit is reached, applicants may be added to a waiting list.

• VOUCHERS: For owned dogs and cats, a limited number of vouchers for $50 off a spay/neuter surgery are available for low-income pet owners. Surgery may be performed at Animal Birth Control, Palisade Pet Care, Clifton Animal Hospital, or Footprints Animal Hospital in Mesa County or at Grand Mesa Veterinary Hospital in Delta. If you would prefer to use your regular veterinarian for the procedure, please contact your veterinarian directly to see if they accept our vouchers. We can issue up to 6 vouchers for owned pets per household due to Mesa County pet ownership regulations.

• VOUCHERS: For feral/community cats, we can provide a voucher for $35 off of a spay surgery or $25 off of a neuter surgery performed at Animal Birth Control. You will be responsible for covering any remaining balance. There is no limit to the number of vouchers we can issue for community cats.

• ON-SITE SURGERIES: We have partnered with local veterinarians to provide spay/neuter surgeries on-site at Roice-Hurst Humane Society at a subsidized rate. Currently, our fees for on-site surgeries are: $45 for male cat neuters, $60 for female cat spays, $100 for male dog neuters, and $120 for female dog spays. A deposit is required to hold your pet’s surgery spot ($45 for cats, $50 for dogs). Once the deposit is received and a waiver is signed, your surgery spot is confirmed. Please come prepared to pay the remaining balance at the time of surgery. Additional services, like vaccinations or microchipping, are available for an additional discounted rate. 

• Our spay/neuter appointments and vouchers are a resource for pet owners who can’t afford to have their pet spayed or neutered by their regular veterinarian at full price. Please reserve this resource for those who are not currently in a financial position to cover the full cost of a spay/neuter surgery.

• Humane cat traps are available to borrow by request.

• If you are seeking a spay/neuter voucher, before filling out this form, please schedule a spay/neuter appointment for your pet at one of the following vet clinics: Animal Birth Control, Palisade Pet Care, Clifton Animal Hospital, Footprints Animal Hospital, or Grand Mesa Veterinary Hospital.

  We cannot issue a voucher if you do not already have a surgery appointment scheduled.
