The Georgetown Animal Shelter has announced dates for its 2024 spay/neuter clinics for cats – January 20, February 24, and March 23.  The goal of the clinics is to reduce the cat population in Georgetown.

This is the thirteenth year that the shelter has offered free spay/neuter clinics for cats in an effort to curb overpopulation. It is likely to be the last time the shelter hosts these free clinics since the City anticipates contracting with Williamson County for animal shelter services in the near future.

Spay and neuter surgeries and a rabies vaccination will be provided at no charge. Other services available at the clinic include a FIV/FeLV test for $20, an FVRCP vaccine for $5, microchip for $10, e-collar for $10, or cat carrier for $5.

Appointments are required for the free clinics, which are offered on a first-come, first-served basis and are not necessarily for low-income cat owners. Cats or kittens must be at least three months old. Residents may sign up for two cats per clinic.

The clinic is offered only for cats whose owners live in the Georgetown City Limits, so bring your driver’s license or other form of ID that shows your current address.

Call (512) 930-3592 to schedule your cat for surgery. All spay or neuter surgeries will be done by a licensed veterinarian.

The spay and neuter clinic will be held at the City of Georgetown Animal Shelter at 110 W.L. Walden Drive near the McMaster Athletic Fields. Contact the shelter at (512) 930-3592 or by email at animalsvc@georgetown.org. The City of Georgetown Animal Shelter website is pets.georgetown.org.
