Why Spay & Neuter Is Free

Eligible low-income families receive spay or neuter services at no cost through FRCA.

FRCA covers the cost because removing financial barriers helps more pets get sterilized and prevents unwanted litters.

Pet owners share responsibility by scheduling and keeping appointments, preparing their pets appropriately for surgery, and providing appropriate aftercare.

Working Together to Help Your Pet

When a pet is sick or injured, FRCA may help eligible families with the cost of necessary veterinary care.

Our Veterinary Assistance Program is based on partnership.

Whenever reasonably possible, pet owners contribute an affordable amount toward their pet’s care, while FRCA helps with the remaining eligible veterinary expenses.

We understand that every family’s circumstances are different. Financial hardship, transportation, work, caregiving responsibilities, and other challenges can affect a person’s ability to obtain veterinary care.

Our goal is to identify those barriers and help families find a realistic path to treatment.
