How You Can Help PAWS

Take care of your cat's teeth

Cats are subject to gum disease and to dental caries. Left untreated, they can lose their teeth, just like we do. Make sure to have your cat's teeth cleaned by your veterinarian or a cat dentist once a year.

"If you take a dog which is starving and feed him and make him prosperous, that dog will not bite you. This is the primary difference between a dog and a man."

Spay/Neuter Assistance (SNAP) Program

The PAWS Spay/Neuter Program, along with other programs in the area, provide a range of services for people seeking help with spaying or neutering their own animals or stray/feral animals they are caring for.

Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinics

Our low cost clinics are open to residents of Centre County, those who work full time in Centre county, and students. There are income restrictions to qualify for the clinic (does not apply to students)

Yearly Income Guidelines:

• Family of 1: no more than $27,075/yr
• Family of 2: no more than $36,425/yr
• Family of 3: no more than $45,775/yr
• Family of 4: no more than $55,125/yr
• Family of 5: no more than $64,475/yr

Persons participating in government assistance programs (such as WIC or Food Stamps) are also eligible. We do require income verification or verification of participation in an assistance program with your application.

Clinics are announced on this website, on our Facebook fan page and in local media. To participate in a clinic, you must pre-register and pre-pay. Walk-ins are not accepted at the clinics.

Our next clinic is scheduled for: Saturday, August 28, 2010

Costs:

• Cat Neuter: $25
• Cat Spay: $35
• Dog Neuter (under 25 lbs): $35
• Vaccines: $5 per vaccine

Due to the length of time required and complexity of the procedure, we cannot do dog spays or large dog neuters at our clinics. If you are in need of this service, please apply for a SNAP voucher.

SNAP Voucher Program - Owned Animals

Our voucher program is designed to reduce the cost of getting your cat or dog altered by providing you with a coupon that can be used at your vet's office at the time of your pet's surgery. This program is open to residents of Centre County, those who work full time in Centre county, and students. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide vouchers to other rescue organizations for use with their animals.

Households can request up to 6 vouchers in one year. Vouchers are accepted by veterinarians in Centre County only and the Allegheny Spay/Neuter Clinic in Clearfield. We operate the voucher program on the "honor" system and ask people to only apply if they really cannot afford the surgery otherwise so that we can help as many truly needy families as we can.

SNAP Voucher Program - Stray/Feral Cats

PAWS and other organizations in the Centre region offer spay/neuter assistance to people managing feral cat colonies or who are caring for stray "community" cats. Please email or call us so we can understand your situation better and get you the best assistance for your needs.
