Please note – the low-cost spay and neuter clinic is for dogs and cats up to and including age 5. If your pet is over the age of five, please call one of our veterinary hospitals directly for assistance.

Do you need help getting your dog or cat fixed? Second Chance offers FREE spay/neuter services for cats and dogs owned by low-income pet owners during Voucher Days – in partnership with the Mass Animal Fund.

how do I know if my pet qualifies?

Important Update on State Voucher Days

Due to a significant backlog of spay/neuter vouchers at the state level, the state is requiring that all Voucher Days be reserved for pet owners already on the existing waitlist.

We understand this may be disappointing, but our regular low-cost spay/neuter pricing remains available to help pet owners in need. We are committed to making veterinary care accessible and will continue to do all we can to support you and your pets.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

The Pit Fix

Pit bull and pit bull mixes are the most common dog found in shelters. This is due in large part to the misinformation about the breed and over breeding. We want to help this breed by helping to fix pit bulls at an affordable cost. Be a responsible pit bull owner and get your pit fixed – we can help! Second Chance helps to fix pit bulls (75 lbs. and under) for a cost of $100 for males and $125 for females. Every pit fixed helps to make a difference! Your dog can qualify for our reduced cost pit bull pricing if:

He/she is a pit bull or mostly pit bull mix and has characteristics of a pit bull such as a square/blocky head, short muzzle, and a well-defined muscular structure.
You can present a copy of your dog’s rabies certificate or previous medical records with the breed of pit bull clearly noted.

Qualification is at the discretion of our veterinarian. For dogs over 75 lbs., regular low-cost spay/neuter pricing applies.

F.A.S.T. Program for Feral Cats

Due to the overwhelming need for help in our community and beyond for feral cats, we have a life-saving program to help those felines in need. What is a feral cat? A feral cat is an untamed domestic cat. Feral cats are cats that are either born in the wild or were abandoned and reverted to a wild state. Stray cats are not considered feral unless you cannot touch or pick them up. Feral cats will usually run away from you when approached. Feral cats do not live in the house with human contact. This is a comprehensive package which includes:

Spay/Neuter
Rabies vaccine (if not current)
Distemper combo vaccine
Pain medication (given at the clinic)
Flea Treatment
Ear Tip (a small eartip is mandatory for all feral cats. This helps to identify the cat easily from a distance as spayed/neutered.).

Need a feral cat spayed/neutered?

The cost to spay/neuter a feral cat is $50.00

All feral cats coming in MUST be in humane feral cat traps.
All cats coming into this program will be eartipped for identification.

We have feral cat traps that can be loaned out for a $20.00 deposit.

Please be advised of our policy for our feral spay/neuter program:

Our feral cat program is only for untouchable feral cats that live outdoors that cannot be touched or handled in any way.

If you are dropping off a cat for this program, and the cat you have brought is found to be friendly, you will be subject to paying our regular low cost price for cat spay/neuter.

We appreciate your cooperation in this matter as we strive to help as many feral cats as we possibly can.

Be Part of the Solution – Support the F.A.S.T. Program

We want to help feral cats live out a healthy life. Unfortunately, these cats were either born in the wild or were abandoned and reverted back to a wild state. They are not adoptable as house cats. Since these cats have adapted to life outdoors, the best we can do for them is provide vaccinations to keep them healthy and spay/neuter services so that their population is kept under control.

You can help in several ways:

Adopt a Trap:

Feral cat traps are expensive and the shelter needs several traps to keep up with the need to loan these traps out to catch the feral cats and bring to the program. You can help by making a donation of $75.00. The trap will be marked with your “adoption”. If you would like to donate a trap, please donate below and if you would like the adoption noted, please note it in the Memo section of the on the donation link (or with the check if you are mailing in the donation). Adoption Example “This trap was adopted in memory of Scooter“.

Volunteer:

Help by volunteering at the shelter for the feral program. Volunteers are always needed during these programs to do paperwork, clean out the traps while the cat is in surgery, and/or to assist with various other duties during the clinic. If you would like to help, please fill out our Volunteer form.

Donate:

It costs the shelter approximately $100. per cat for services through this program. You can help by donating to the program. To do so, you can click the button below OR you can send a check to: Second Chance Animal Services, Inc., 111 Young Road, P.O. Box 136, East Brookfield, MA 01515.

Save a Feral:

If you are feeding a feral cat, please get them spayed/neutered. By using this program, you are helping to end pet overpopulation and are helping to make the life of that feral healthier.

Feral Cat Adoption:

While the shelter does not routinely adopt out feral cats, we do help to re-home feral cats that have lost their existing home. If you have a barn or can provide other suitable housing and feeding for a feral cat, please contact the shelter.

Farms:

Are you a farm? Please email us if you are a farm. Our definition of a farm is someone who is actively utilizing their property for the sale of produce or has farm animals and includes at least one barn or related structure. We do have programs for feral cats specific to the farming community. These farm programs are free or at reduced costs. Please email or call us for details.
