Schedule Your Appointment!
We accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. We do not accept checks. Payment is due at time of check-in. We try to send online payment requests the day before surgery or the morning of, so you can pay online. Anything we can do beforehand that speeds up drop-off helps us get an early start. All appointments require a $35 nonrefundable deposit.
Surgery Day Check In
All cats MUST be in secure carriers, with ONLY 1 cat per carrier. Dogs need to have a collar that is appropriately fitted and can not slip off. Leave DOGS in your car until instructed otherwise. Animals not picked up at the designated time will be charged $25/day boarding fee.
“Feral Cat Package” –Information for cat trappers/colony caretakers
**Please note**, kittens under the age of 6 months/6 lbs. who don’t have their adult teeth in (generally 6 months) are NOT ELIGIBLE for this reduced rate program, unless they come in a trap AND are clearly wild.
We understand trapping is unpredictable, and can be difficult to plan for and schedule. Animals can be brought to our Alto location on any of our scheduled ALTO surgery days (refer to our calendar link above). If you plan on bringing more than 2-3, please try to let us know a minimum of 24 hours ahead of time so we can be sure we are appropriately staffed.
We are committed to supporting the care of feral cats. For this reason, in addition to ear-tipping them, we provide flea treatment and deworming at no cost, as well as ear cleaning and basic wound care. This program is for trapped cats who are wild as well as colony cats. This is open to rescue groups and individuals who manage colonies and who have a demonstrated history of TNR.
***Please note, in order to qualify for the feral cat program, a cat must be an UNOWNED (feral) animal. Additionally, it needs to 1) Arrive in a trap, and 2) Trapper agrees to surrender the cat to us (without a refund) if one of our adoption partners wants to find it a home, because this is a program for homeless animals only.***
Volunteering on surgery days!
Whether we are in Alto or Ionia, we can always use a few extra hands. Duties can include things like cleaning ears or trimming nails on animals who are “asleep”, or opening and labeling syringes, folding laundry, etc. for those who prefer not to work directly with the animals. As a bonus, we move your pet’s spay/neuter surgery to the front of the line, so they will be done earlier and you can leave earlier (this only applies to spays/neuters). **If you are planning on volunteering, it’s best to arrive between 8:30-9am. We need to check animals in and get organized before there is much to do :). Volunteers must be at least 18 years old and can not have any minors with them. Thanks!!
