Although PETA’s special Spay Day spay/neuter event is booking up quickly, free appointments are now available for cats at PETA’s 12-hour Spay-a-Thon event on Tuesday, February 23.

All Spay-a-Thon surgical appointments for cats will be free. PETA’s special “Spay Day” pricing—$15 for cats, commemorating the 15^th anniversary of PETA’s mobile clinics, and $35 for dogs, commemorating PETA’s 35^th year of rescuing and speaking up for animals—will continue throughout the rest of February and March. Appointments are required and can be made by calling 757-622-7382, extension 3, or visiting PETA.org/SpayNeuter.

“PETA is celebrating milestones in the best way we know how: by preventing thousands of dogs and cats from being born into homelessness,” says PETA Senior Vice President Daphna Nachminovitch. “As animal shelters continue to turn away animals in droves, there’s not a moment to lose in addressing the overpopulation crisis.”

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to abuse in any way”—offers low-cost spay/neuter services year-round. PETA’s fleet of mobile clinics has spayed and neutered more than 123,000 dogs and cats since 2001, including 11,929 in 2015.
