Low Cost Spay/Neuter
Cape Ann Animal Aid's SpayMAMA Program
Controlling pet overpopulation is important to us. Through this program, Cape Ann Animal Aid will cover the cost of a spay surgery for cats and dogs that have recently given birth. The mother and her babies are fixed and the mother is returned to the owner while the puppies/kittens are adopted out through the shelter. We understand that each individual situation is unique. Please call 978-283-6055 x11 or email sbuck@capeannanimalaid.org for more information.
