Spay/Neuter

Spay/Neuter Assistance:

We cannot rescue our way out of the pet overpopulation problem! Circle of Friends Animal Society is committed to saving lives and reducing pet overpopulation through spay/neuter but we understand that the cost of a surgery may be too much for some pet owners. Through our veterinary partners, COFAS financially assists pet owners in Greene, Putnam, Hancock and Taliaferro counties with the cost spay/neuter surgery through two programs: our Community Spay/Neuter Program and Our Low-Cost Spay-Neuter Program.

Community Spay/Neuter Program

Income qualification is required. For those pet owners who qualify, COFAS funds up to 100% of spay/neuter surgery and a rabies vaccination. Surgeries are performed by Durham Veterinary Clinic in Greensboro or Lake Oconee Animal Hospital in Eatonton in a timeframe that fits your schedule.

Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Program

Circle of Friends has committed to subsidizing the spay/neuter fees to reduce the cost to pet owners. These clinics are held approximately every two months. For these clinics, a pet owners pays $65 for a spay/neuter surgery for dog and $40 for a cat. While this program does not have income requirements, space is very limited. Surgeries are performed by Durham Veterinary Clinic.

When using our Spay/Neuter Program, please follow these guidelines:

You must call our spay/neuter line at 706.688.9010 for a reservation
Cats must be in a carrier; multiple cats may share a carrier
Label the cat carrier with your name and the pet’s name
Dogs must be on a leash
No food after 8pm the night before the procedure
Additional services are available from the vet at your cost
In general, dogs should be at least 6 months before having surgery and cats should be at least 4 months. If you have questions about the age of your pet and whether your pet is a good candidate for surgery, please check with a vet.
