A day in the life at Alabama Spay/Neuter

According to research by the nonprofit Best Friends, nearly 14,690 dogs and cats were killed in shelters across Alabama in 2021. 

While there are many reasons for this, there’s one kind and easy solution: spay females and neuter males. These quick surgeries prevent potentially millions of offspring that could result in unwanted, uncared-for animals. 

Here’s what you need to know about “getting your pet fixed” at Alabama Spay/Neuter:

1. It’s EASY to make an appointment for your pet at Alabama Spay/Neuter

Just call 205.956.0012 or email info@alspay.org with the following: 

• Your first + last name
• Phone number
• Emergency number
• Address
• Pet’s name
• Pet’s breed and color
• Pet’s age and weight
• Whether they have been vaccinated for rabies in the last year

2. It won’t break the bank $$

Here’s the basic cost for spays for females: 

• Dog: $105
• Cat: $80

Because the female reproductive organs are internal, these surgeries are a bit more involved—hence the higher cost.

And for neuters for males: 

• Dog: $85
• Cat: $55

Bonus: Surgeries include Capstar 24-hour flea treatment. 

There are additional charges based on whether the animal is in heat, pregnant, 50+ pounds, feral or needing a rabies vaccine. Plus, they’ve got optional add-ons, such as microchipping or nail trims to help you take great care of your pet.

3. Drop off your pet one day—pick them up the next

Alabama Spay/Neuter provides curbside service at drop-off and pick-up Mondays through Thursdays. You never have to leave the comfort of your own vehicle. 

Here’s the schedule for cats: 

• Bring at 7AM on the day of your appointment.
• Pick up at 6:45AM the following morning.

And for dogs: 

• Bring at 7:30AM on the day of your appointment. 
• Pick up at 6:30AM the following morning.

4. Your pet will be in well-qualified hands

Dr. Margaret Ferrell is the practice owner and lead veterinarian for Spay Neuter Veterinary Services, LLC, which is the medical provider for the nonprofit Alabama Spay/Neuter.
