Bringing Spay/Neuter to Urban Neighborhoods

Recognizing that many of the most serious overpopulation and animal health crises in NYC arise in neighborhoods with limited access to veterinary care, the ASPCA Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinics bring services directly to those communities.

"We’re addressing the animal crisis at its source – in the heart of the city’s local communities."
