Maddie's Spay/Neuter Project in NYC

Low-cost spays and neuters for cats and dogs for New York City residents on public assistance.

Having your cats and dogs spayed or neutered makes good sense — for you and the animals.

•	Eliminates the chance of unwanted pregnancies.
•	Helps reduce the number of homeless cats and dogs.
•	Can help avoid some health problems (and their associated costs) later in your cat's or dog's life.
•	Can help eliminate some problem behaviors.

If you reside within the five boroughs of New York City and are on public assistance, you can have up to a total of 6 cats or dogs (or a combination of cats/dogs totaling no more than 6) spayed or neutered each year for a special low price at participating clinics.

Here's how it works:

Locate a participating veterinary practice or non-profit organization from the list below.

Call the facility and make an appointment. Mention that you are using Maddie's Spay/Neuter Project in NYC.

Bring proof of public assistance and photo ID with you when you take your cat(s) or dog(s) in for the appointment. To qualify, pet owners/guardians can provide any of the following as proof of eligibility:

•	Medicaid (or other subsidized medical plan) card
•	Medicare card
•	SSI
•	Disability/SSD
•	Reduced-Fare MetroCard (senior or disabled)
•	Welfare
•	Food stamps
•	Public housing (NYCHA rent bill or Section 8 voucher/letter)

The veterinarian will perform the surgery.

Pay for the surgery: $10 for each cat, $20 for each dog; up to a total of 6 animals per household per year. Note: These fees apply to spay or neuter surgeries only. If your pet requires additional care, such as pre-surgery testing of an older pet or other procedures, those costs will be in addition to the spay or neuter fee. Please ask the veterinarian to inform you prior to the surgery (preferably when you make the appointment) of any additional costs.

About Maddie's Fund

Maddie's Fund, The Pet Rescue Foundation (www.maddiesfund.org), is a family foundation funded by Workday and PeopleSoft Founder Dave Duffield and his wife, Cheryl. Maddie's Fund is helping to create a no-kill nation where all healthy and treatable shelter dogs and cats are guaranteed a loving home. To achieve this goal, Maddie's Fund is investing its resources in building community collaborations where animal welfare organizations come together to develop successful models of lifesaving; in veterinary colleges to help shelter medicine become part of the veterinary curriculum; in private practice veterinarians to encourage greater participation in the animal welfare cause; and in the implementation of national strategies to collect and report shelter statistics. Maddie's Fund is named after the family's beloved Miniature Schnauzer who passed away in 1997.

Maddie's Spay/Neuter Project is partnering with Maddie's Pet Rescue Project to end the killing of healthy and treatable shelter pets in New York City within ten years.
