Spay/Neuter Appointments for Owned Cats
Spay Rescue – Female: $90 (Includes high quality pain injection, anti-inflammatory injection and subcutaneous fluid injections. Also includes nail trim for indoor cats.)
Please note that if your cat is pregnant, in heat or very overweight, there may be a $5-$40 extra tissue charge after surgery, depending on the length of time. We never want to charge owners more than they can afford. This small fee is only to cover the fee charged to us by the doctor for their time.
Neuter Rescue – Male: $80 (Includes high quality pain injection, anti-inflammatory injection and subcutaneous fluid injections. Also includes nail trim for indoor cats.)
Please note that if your cat is cryptorchid (only one testicle has dropped), there will be a $20-$150 extra surgical site fee after surgery, depending on the length of time. We never want to charge owners more than they can afford. This small fee is only to cover the fee charged to us by the doctor for their time.
*Purebred/purposeful bred cats will require an additional spay/neuter fee of $225 to the $100/$90 spay/neuter fee for a total of $325/$315. If your rescue cat is observed to be purebred at drop off, you will be required to pay the additional fee or forfeit your deposit.

Animal Welfare Foundation of San Diego

Animal Welfare Foundation of San Diego is a nonprofit corporation, founded with the intention of offering low cost spay/neuter referrals to veterinarians throughout San Diego County, and providing financial assistance to individuals and families for spay/neuter surgeries. We regret we cannot help with medicals or assist individuals or organizations that do rescue.
Our primary focus is on providing financial assistance for spay and neuter surgeries for as many companion animals in San Diego County as we possibly can, and when necessary, to help provide humane means by which animals suffering from incurable infectious diseases or who are too badly injured to save can be humanely euthanized.
For financial help with spay/neuter surgeries please contact us. We work with veterinarians throughout San Diego County. Call us at 619-702-4400 Monday-Friday from 9am to 1pm, email us at awfsandiego@gmail.com
