Cat Low Cost Spay/Neuter Transport Service - Fee $100
When we have open spay and neuter spots for cats with our vet in Madison, we will offer those to the public. This service includes overnight boarding in a separate area of the shelter, transportation to the surgery site, physical exam by a veterinarian, rabies vaccine (if age appropriate and no record of one), spay/neuter, post-op meds, transportation back to the shelter.
- We will NOT declaw cats for any reason.
- Rabies vaccine is non negotiable unless a certificate from a veterinarian is provided before drop off.
- Puppies and kittens MUST be healthy, 6 weeks of age and weigh at least 1.5 pounds.
- We do NOT provide dentals.
- There may be extra charges associated with the surgery (such as extra pain meds, the animal appears to have an ear infection and meds are needed, etc.) This charge is solely based on what ICHS gets charged for the item.

Why Spay and Neuter?
Just one male and one female cat could produce 420,000 offspring in a 7 year period, and just one male and one female dog could produce 67,000 offspring in a 6 year period. The Iowa County Humane Society wants to help stop these cycles of overpopulation by offering help to the community to spay or neuter their pets. Spaying or neutering your animal will:
- Reduce his inclination to stray. Animals that leave home to mate are often lost, hit by cars, or injured by another animal.
- Greatly reduce her risk of cancer. It’s a fact: altered animals live longer.
- Reduce unwanted behaviors such as spraying or fighting.
- Ensure that you are not stuck with the costly and time-consuming task of caring for an unwanted litter.
- Ensure that your companion is not contributing to pet overpopulation, the leading cause of death in domestic animals.
Sterilizing your pet is the single most important thing you can do to reduce the number of homeless animals in our community. All dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens adopted from the Iowa County Humane Society are spayed or neutered before going into their new homes. We encourage all pet owners to sterilize their companion animals and join in our efforts to ensure no animal is left without a home.
