Our Lower-Income Spay/Neuter Program now reaches all of Washtenaw County and most communities adjacent to it. The new zip codes include Carleton (48117), Hamburg (48139), Monroe (48161-48162), Canton (48187-48188), Novi (48374 and Wixom (48393).Families in our area -- with annual household incomes under $40,000 -- are invited to apply for free vouchers covering the full cost to spay or neuter their cats– and -- if it can be done at the time of surgery –one vaccination each for rabies and distemper.
As long as the household provide the cats with daily care (food, water and shelter) – and has a lifelong commitment to them – the cats can live indoors or out at their home. This means in addition to property owners qualifying for outdoor cat spay/neuter vouchers through our Feral Colony Assistance Program, now renters, condominium and Mobile Home Park residents can too – but with a 3-cat limit per household. And, because these “porch” cats often move indoors after they’re fixed, we don’t ear-tip them as we would through the Feral Colony Assistance Program.
In addition to being free, our program is very convenient – with vouchers being issued to participating veterinary clinics scattered throughout our service area. With the exception of some fringe areas, most clients will be sent to a clinic within 10-15 miles from their home.
This change in service area only applies to the Lower-Income Spay/Neuter Program and does not affect the Feral Colony Assistance Program. Visit our web site for full program details and applications.
