There are several free or low-cost resources in the greater Sacramento area for getting feral cats spayed/neutered. Note that some options depend on where you/the cats reside.
Policies and prices are always changing. We try to keep our info up-to-date, but it is best to contact each organization and confirm what is available.
Please note: If you bring a feral cat or cats to these clinics, YOU are responsible for their after care. In addition, you must return them to their colonies and agree to manage the colony responsibly, ie. provide food and water and monitor their health.
