Free Spay/Neuter Surgeries for Pittsburgh Residents

Who’s Eligible?

• City of Pittsburgh residents only
• Includes owned cats and dogs as well as community (stray/feral) cats

Live outside the city? You can still schedule an appointment through our year-round, affordable program here.

2. If selected (first-come, first-served), we’ll contact you directly to schedule your pet’s surgery.

3. A $50 refundable deposit will be required to hold your spot – refunded on the day of surgery.

Why This Program?

• The City’s spay/neuter program is temporarily paused, leaving many without affordable options.
• Local shelters, including Animal Friends, are overwhelmed — and we’re stepping in to help.
• Thanks to support from the Margaret Raphael Foundation, we’re making these vital services available at no cost to you.

Together, we can prevent pet overpopulation and keep animals out of overcrowded shelters.
