SNIP - Spay Neuter Incentive Program
|
SNIP is a program for cats and dogs of low-income residents in Sacramento County within our service areas. Qualified residents are given vouchers for surgery to use at participating veterinarians or with shelter veterinarians. There is a limit of 2 SNIP vouchers per household. View SNIP Flyer.
To register, bring proof of low-income status, such as an EBT card or personal income tax return, and your pet to the shelter. *Your pet will be vaccinated and micro-chipped and you will receive a voucher for the spay/neuter surgery. Proof of low income such as EBT card, WIC, or even income tax statements is required, along with a $20 co-pay. Pay-stubs are not valid proof of income.
*Please note that we do not handle SNIPS on weekends because it so busy. Thursdays tend to be the least busy.
The SNIP Package Includes:
- vaccinations
- micro-chipping
- animal license
- voucher to be used for surgery with one of the participating veterinarians.
For additional spay/neuter resources, the Sacramento Area Animal Coalition (SAAC) has compiled a page http://www.sacanimal.org/spayneuter.html of numerous low-cost and free services throughout Sacramento, Placer and Yolo counties for both owned pets and feral cats. |
