Many people want to have their pets spayed or neutered, but when they find out how much it costs, they think it won't be possible.
Others want to help community cats but think they won't be able to find a low-cost or free option. But it absolutely is possible—there are many shelters, veterinarians, and organizations who are ready and able to help. And it can be easy to find them.
The most important thing to know about spaying and neutering is that it saves lives. In every community in the U.S. there are animals sitting in animal shelters waiting for homes.
Only about half of those dogs and cats will ever get one. The other half will be euthanized.
Sadly, each year in the US more than 15 million dogs and cats are euthanized because of overpopulation.
Sterilizing dogs and cats not only reduces animal companion overpopulation, homelessness and euthanasia, but also benefits individual cats and dogs, their guardians and society at large.
For years it was believed that the best age at which to neuter and spay animals was six months.
No conclusive controlled studies have ever been done to determine the best age to neuter dogs and cats.
On the other hand, current research does show that spaying before the first heat prevents the development of mammary gland tumors.
Since females can go into heat as young as four months of age, they should be spayed before then to receive that protection.

What You Can Do
Please spay and neuter your animal companions to reduce overpopulation and urge others to do the same. If you are in need of discounted services, see the list below for information on finding a service in your area.
- Never buy a dog or cat from a breeder or pet store. Instead, save a life by adopting a homeless animal from your local shelter or Rescue Group.
- Whether it is educating a friend on the importance of getting his puppy neutered or spending your Saturday afternoon volunteering at a local animal shelter, there are many ways to help save the animals in your community:
- Donate: Donations and grants fund life-saving programs for pets in need. Donating as little as $10 can help.
- Adopt: Adoptions get animals out of shelters and into homes. Remind friends looking for a family pet that animals from shelters make wonderful pets.
- Spay or neuter: Spaying and neutering means fewer animals going into shelters and improves your pet's health and behavior. Many shelters around the country provide free or reduced prices for these important services.
- Volunteer: Volunteering powers the "no-kill" movement. Find a shelter in your area and donate your time to this worthwhile effort.
- Spread the word: Amplify the urgent message of pet homelessness by educating family and friends on these startling statistics. Also help increase awareness by showing your support on Facebook or Twitter.
