ASPCA Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinics
For pet owners receiving public assistance:The ASPCA offers low-cost spay/neuter surgery via five fully-equipped mobile veterinary clinics that travel to many of NYC's neighborhoods! Our mission is to put an end to the tragic euthanasia of adoptable animals within New York City's five boroughs by addressing the animal crisis at its source—in the heart of the city's local communities. Recognizing that many of the most serious overpopulation and animal health crises arise in neighborhoods with limited access to veterinary care and education on animal issues, the ASPCA will bring these services directly to such communities. View our calendar for upcoming dates in your area. For more information please call 877-SPAY-NYC. Who qualifies?Low income pet owners in New York City's five boroughs with proof of public assistance such as Welfare, Medicaid, Medicare, SSI, Disability, Food Stamps, or Public Housing qualify. Unemployment does not qualify. If you do not have proof of public assistance, a $75 per animal fee is required. Which services are provided when you bring your pet for spay/neuter?
This is an all-inclusive fee. Clients can choose which services their pets need, however the fee for clients not on public assistance will remain the same. We cannot provide vaccinations or any other services to animals not being spayed or neutered on the same day. If you would like to have your pet microchipped, please let your team know. There is a separate charge of $25 per animal microchipped. What do I do when I get to the location?We can serve up to 25 animals per day on a first-come, first-served basis, and you must arrive early to wait in line for intake. We suggest you arrive at the location before 7:00 A.M. The ASPCA mobile clinic program encourages New York City residents to spay or neuter ALL the cats and dogs in your household. You are welcome to bring all your pets to the mobile clinic location of your choice, but due to the high demand for our services, a policy of two pets maximum per household per clinic day may be applied. An ASPCA representative will arrive before 8:00 A.M. to help you sign up to have your pet taken care of. Be prepared to wait approximately two hours for intake. While you are waiting, please be courteous and considerate of our neighbors and local residents. For more information please call 877-SPAY-NYC. What animals will you accept?We WILL spay/neuter:

What do I need to bring?
- Bring proof of public assistance and a picture ID with proof that you are 18 or over. If you are bringing a pet for someone who is disabled or elderly, make sure to have their public assistance proof and picture ID.
- Bring all cats in carriers, with one cat per carrier. Bring dogs on leashes.
- Bring money to purchase an ecollar to put on your pet after surgery. An ecollar is a plastic cone that fits around your pet's neck to prevent your pet from licking its stiches and causing an infection. Bring $3 per cat and small dog and $5 per medium and large dog.
How do I prepare my pet for surgery?
Do not give the animal(s) any food or water after midnight on the night before the surgery. If you have a pet younger than six months old, please give him or her half the normal serving size of food and water four hours before coming to the clinic. Young animals need adequate nutrition to undergo the surgery.
How do I take care of my pet after surgery?
When your pet is discharged from the mobile clinic, you will be given a list of instructions explaining post operative care. You can also download them here:

How can I reserve the mobile clinic for my community?
If you are an NYC community leader in a low income community and would like to sponsor the mobile clinic, all you need to do is find a parking spot large enough to accommodate for our 37' mobile clinic. This location should also be easy for pet owners to travel to and be in an area where the public can easily see the clinic. For more information please call 877-SPAY-NYC.
