In an effort to curb the population of stray felines and promote responsible pet ownership, Nevada County's Community Spay and Neuter Program has teamed up with Animal Save to host a cost-free clinic dedicated to the spaying and neutering of cats. The event, which is slated for December 16, aims to alleviate the county from the growing number of unwanted litters and improve the wellbeing of community cats.
Speaking at a county meeting, Supervisor Lisa Swarthout expressed the program's early success, "We’ve already provided over 100 free spay and neuter services in just the first few months of this pilot program," as noted by the county's official website. Before residents from the unincorporated areas of Nevada County can fill out the form, they are encouraged to act promptly, as only about 25 spots are open for the taking in the upcoming clinic. These services will be proffered on a first-come, first-served basis.
For those interested in taking advantage of this offer, applications can be submitted online by visiting NevadaCountyCA.gov/SpayandNeuter. Upon successful review, eligible applicants will receive confirmation for their scheduled appointment directly from Animal Save representatives.
The clinic, which is exclusively accessible to cat owners residing in unincorporated parts of the county, constitutes a part of a comprehensive approach focused on fostering animal health and community safety through June 30, 2026. With multiple events being planned over the course duration, the program's webpage provides substantial resources and the necessary applications for interested parties. For additional details about the free clinic or other related queries, community members can reach out to Nevada County Animal Services by firing off an email to [email protected].
