P.E.T.S. Clinic in Lubbock, located at 2207 34th St, is offering immediate neutering services for male cats, a boon for local pet owners seeking affordable veterinary care. This nonprofit clinic, dedicated to spaying and neutering, also provides vaccinations, nail trims, and flea and tick prevention. However, it does not treat sick or injured animals.
Availability and Costs
While the clinic has a waitlist for female cats and dogs due to the complexity of their surgeries, male cat owners can access services without delay. The cost for neutering a male cat is $40, significantly lower than typical veterinary offices. An additional $17 is required if the cat needs a rabies vaccination.
To qualify, cats must be between 3 months and 6 years old and weigh at least 3 pounds. Certain breeds, such as Himalayan and Persian cats, are excluded due to potential surgical complications. Pain medication is included at no extra charge, and owners can opt for additional services like microchipping and vaccinations during the procedure.
Community Support and Patience
P.E.T.S. Clinic, primarily volunteer-run, handles over 100 surgery requests daily. The community is encouraged to be patient and understanding of the wait times for female pets. Those needing these services are advised to join the waitlist as soon as possible.
