Spay & Neuter Services At ASAP

A main goal of the ASAP mission is to serve all cats in Santa Barbara County — and part of that includes preventing the overpopulation of cats in the area. To accomplish this, we are proud to offer Spay & Neuter services at the shelter. 

Wondering why you should spay/neuter your cat? Take a look at some fast facts below:

How Spaying & Neutering Helps

  • Enhances your cat’s health and quality of life
  • The cost of licensing is considerably lower
  • Prevents the birth of unwanted kittens, which often overcrowd county shelters and prevent older cats from being adopted
  • Decreases a cat’s desire to roam and mark their territory

Best Age to Spay or Neuter

  • Consult with your veterinarian about the most appropriate time to spay or neuter your pet
  • Considerations are the breed, age, and physical condition.
  • It is not best to wait until your female cat has gone through its first heat cycle
