Get Your Cat Spayed for $20!

Get Your Female Cat Spayed at the Spay Spa & Neuter Nook for only $20!

Thanks to funding from PetSmart Charities, the Spay Spa & Neuter Nook, your regional High Quality, Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic will spay 200 cats for only $20 during February!

Spaying and neutering is one of the most effective ways to reduce the homeless pet population and is safe for kittens as young as eight to 10 weeks old, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. Spaying a female cat before the first heat cycle can be beneficial, improving the health of the pet by reducing the risk of certain reproductive cancers and infections.

“Female cats can have as many as three litters a year, and kittens can breed as young as four months old,” says Katherine Evans, President, Spay Spa & Neuter Nook. “Most people don’t want to see their cat get pregnant over and over again, so hopefully our “Beat the Heat” campaign will serve as a gentle reminder to cat owners to sterilize their cats before they go into heat this year.”

The Spay Spa & Neuter Nook was created by Rude Ranch Animal Rescue to provide high quality low cost spay and neuter services to residents of Anne Arundel County and surrounding areas. Our goal is to work towards a day when we no longer euthanize healthy animals because of pet overpopulation.

Rude Ranch Animal Rescue is a volunteer based, 501(c)3 organization dedicated to the rescue, dedicated to the care and adoption of homeless animals in the Maryland and Washington, DC area. All donations are tax deductible. We receive no government funding. Your donation of a few dollars or a few hours of your time can go a long way to helping our cause.
