We’re offering $20 cat spay and neuter surgeries during the month of May, to help you “beat the heat!” Price includes surgery, pain injection, anesthesia and antibiotic injection. Additional tests, vaccines and pet products are available at our regular low prices.

Why spay/neuter? Spaying or neutering is one of the best things you can do for your pet. It eliminates or reduces the risk of several kinds of cancer and makes your pet an overall healthier companion. It reduces aggression and solves other behavior issues such as spraying and marking in male cats. Spaying or neutering does not make your pet fat, lazy, miserable or lethargic. It also helps eliminate the ultimate tragedy – the number of unwanted pets being born in our community. Last year, almost 30,000 animals were euthanized in Hillsborough County due to overpopulation; a majority of them were cats. Two cats and their offspring could easily turn into a colony of 16 within a year. Be a part of the solution – spay/neuter your pet!

Are you feeding feral cats? For a limited time, you can get them fixed for $10 at the ACT Clinic.  We’re offering a $10 spay or neuter special for feral cats brought into our monthly SpayDay WHILE FUNDS LAST. Cost includes the loan fee for a trap, training on how to trap if needed, surgery, pain injection, flea treatment, antibiotic and dewormer if needed and discharge instructions.

$5 neuter surgeries for male cats Feb. 21 & 22

In conjunction with SpayDay USA, we’re hosting Tampa’s first neuter-a-thon at the clinic on February 21 and 22, 2009. Cost is $5 per cat; limited to male cats only. Price includes surgery, pain injection and a rabies shot. Advanced registration is required by calling 1-888-SPAY-FLA (888-772-9352). Our goal is to see 500 fewer cats adding to the overpopulation problem in Tampa Bay. In our climate, females can go into heat constantly, and males are always ready to accommodate!

Grand Prize: The cat with the largest “family jewels” will receive a 12 month supply of cat food, a scratching post and lots of catnip toys! The owner will receive a bottle of fine wine and a box of gourmet chocolates.

The event is made possible in part by a grant from the Doris Day Foundation and Humane Society of the United States.

In 2007, nearly 25,000 animals were euthanized in Hillsborough County due to overpopulation. The ACT Clinic was founded in 2006 to put an end to this tragedy by providing quality, affordable and accessible opportunities for people to spay and neuter their companion animals. Over 9,600 animals have been fixed at the clinic to date.

“The most loving thing you can do for your pet is to spay or neuter,” says Linda Hamilton, Executive Director of ACT. “A fixed dog or cat lives a longer and healthier life and is happier and more affectionate. Chances of cancer are eliminated or greatly decreased, and unwanted litters don’t add to an already‐overpopulated world.”
