Our "Angel Vets"

Our "Angel Vets" reduce their charges significantly to us so we can help more animals. Spay and neuter is the surgery performed most often on rescued animals. 

We spay and neuter kittens at 2lbs which is approximately 9 weeks of age. We follow the January 2000 California State law that requires large municipal shelters to spay and neuter all animals before leaving the animal shelter.
