Spay Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP)

The SNAP program was established to provide Placer County residents with free spay and neuter services for their cats and dogs. Currently, this service is only available for cats and pitbull/pitbull mix dogs. Subsidized spay and neuter services are available for rabbits. For other low-cost spay and neuter services, visit www.sacanimal.org.

Spay and Neuter Assistance for Cats. We offer monthly spay and neuter clinics for cats, whose owners reside in Placer County. We accept a limited amount of animals for each clinic. Register early, these clinics fill quickly. To register for Mobile Clinics, click here. To register for Public Clinics, click here.

Spay and Neuter Assistance for Dogs. We offer low cost spay and neuter vouchers for pitbull/pitbull mixes only. These vouchers may be used at veterinary clinics that have agreed to participate in Placer SPCA's Spay and Neuter Assistance Program. Participating clinics support the efforts of the Placer SPCA by accepting reduced fees for spay and neuter services for clients using a SNAP voucher. View a list of participating veterinary clinics.
