You must provide proof that you have spayed or neutered the adopted animal pursuant to the terms of the adoption contract (for animals that are not already spayed or neutered). In some cases, if the shelter is unable to spay or neuter the animal before adoption, we can provide spay/neutering through a low cost clinic. A $40 deposit is required for cats that are not spayed/neutered yet, the deposit is refundable upon the adopter providing documentation that they had the animal spayed/neutered.
