Spay & Neuter Information

Spaying and neutering our cats and dogs is the only way we will be able to stem the flow of unwanted animals into our nation’s shelters. If you have a dog or cat that is not yet spayed or neutered, please contact your veterinarian as soon as possible to schedule a time to have it done. Spaying and neutering helps animals live longer and healthier lives.

Homeward Bound Programs

Taxi Cat

Homeward Bound offers a free monthly Cat Taxi to the VSN low-cost clinics that are offered on Wednesdays. We provide free transportation to and from the clinic but all financial responsibility for the cost of the spay/neuter is yours. Our Cat Taxi has only 10 spots so space is limited! Please email Clehrer@homewardboundanimals.org to reserve a spot on an upcoming Cat Taxi and  for financial information,please check out  VSN - Vermont Spay Neuter

Spay the Mom

This program is designed for people whose cats have had a "whoops" litter!  In exchange for surrendering all the kittens to Homeward Bound so we can place them (sterilized and vaccinated) into loving homes, we will cover the costs of having your Mom cat spayed and vaccinated and return her to you at not cost.  This program is a win-win for you, your cat, and her kittens! To find out more or to enroll your cat, please email Clehrer@homewardboundanimals.org
