Free spay/neuter clinic for Travis County pets
Monday, March 31, 2025 by Tai Moses
Austin Animal Center and Greater Good Charities are partnering up to offer a free spay-neuter clinic for Travis County residents. Spaying and neutering is a vital tool to help control the pet population crisis filling the nation’s shelters with homeless dogs and cats. Sterilization also has significant health benefits, reducing the chance of cancers, infections and lost pets. To be eligible, pets must be at least 2 months old and weigh at least 2 pounds. Dogs should be on leash and cats secured in a carrier. Feral/community cats are OK if brought in a covered trap. Vaccines and microchips will be included free of charge with the procedure, and feral cats will be ear-tipped. Registration and dropoff will begin on-site at 7:30 am. and will continue until 10 am, or until the schedule is full each day. Thursday, April 3, to Monday, April 7, from 7:30-10 a.m., Brodie Oaks Shopping Center, at the closed Neiman Marcus Last Call store, 4115 S. Capital of Texas Hwy. Find more details here.
