I’ve rescued several strays throughout my lifetime that cost a pretty penny to get them spayed or neutered and vaccinated in order to adopt them out. I want to share with you a list of local groups that offer low cost spay and neuter programs. Many of them also offer vaccinations at a considerable savings.

SCRUFF (Guilderland)
For $50, they will arrange a spay or neuter appointment at a participating clinic. In addition to the surgery, cats will receive rabies and distemper vaccinations, as well as a mandatory left ear tip – a universally accepted symbol to identify a spayed or neutered and vaccinated community cat. Cats may also receive fluids and a flea treatment. Appointments are typically weekdays and are required prior to trapping the cat. A SCRUFF volunteer can educate on the trapping process. Cats must arrive in a covered humane trap (e.g. TruCatch, Havahart). Traps are available to lease by appointment and a security deposit is required. Cat carriers are not acceptable.
If you cannot afford $50, they ask you to contribute what you can afford. SCRUFF will not deny services to any feral or stray cat. Payment is requested on day of surgery (check payable to SCRUFF or cash only).
Columbia-Greene Humane Society/SPCA (Hudson)
$75.00 per cat, which includes the surgery, a rabies vaccine, a distemper vaccine and nail trimming. Combination test for feline leukemia and FIV (feline AIDS) is $20.00 and flea and tick prevention for a $10.00 fee. (Cats only)
