Helping you
desex & microchip your animals

We are excited to announce that we are launching a new desexing campaign for cat and dog owners in Hokianga, Kaikohe, Moerewa, Kawakawa, Kaeo and Okaihau.

Making desexing services accessible to everyone is important to us and from 1 July 2025 we are working with Bay of Islands Veterinary Services and Coast to Coast Cat Rescue to offer this FREE service to cat and dog owners in Hokianga, Kaikohe, Moerewa, Kawakawa, Kaeo and Ōkaihau who need a helping hand with the cost of desexing and microchipping.

Bookings are now open!  Click "Book Now" to contact Coast to Coast Cat Rescue via their Facebook page to arrange your appointment, or contact Bay of Islands Veterinary Services directly (https://www.bayvets.co.nz/)

Together we can make a difference in the lives of hundreds of cats and dogs in Northland.

For answers to general desexing questions, check out the FAQ section on our website.

Low-cost cat desexing at Massey University (Palmerston North) is available to cat owners who hold a Community Services Card, Gold Card, or Massey Student ID.

The Desexing Clinic is entirely run by Massey staff and students who volunteer to provide these valuable services to the community. All procedures are performed in the surgical training facilities at the Massey University Veterinary Teaching Hospital under the supervision of a teaching veterinarian registered with the Veterinary Council of New Zealand.

The Massey-SPCA Desexing Clinic offers cat neutering (males) for $20 and cat spaying (females) for $30. All cats desexed through the programme will also receive free microchipping and NZCAR registration.

All bookings must be made through https://masseyspcadesexing.org/

Dates are usually released 3 months in advanced, with further appoinments announced on the Clinic Facebook page (facebook.com/MasseySPCADesexingClinic).

The Desexing Clinic opened in July 2017 and provides desexing and microchipping services to those owners who need a hand with the costs of desexing their cat, while also giving veterinary students more hands-on clinical experience.

SNIP ‘N’ CHIP IS BACK!

We are excited to be launching a new Snip ‘n’ Chip campaign for cat owners in Waihi, Waihi Beach and Katikati.

From 18 March 2026 we are working with a local participating veterinary clinic to offer this service to cat owners who need a helping hand with desexing and microchipping. Vouchers help those in need get their cat desexed and microchipped for $30.

Bookings are now OPEN! Click "Book Now" to check if vouchers are available in your area and register for your Snip ‘n’ Chip voucher. If your cat is already desexed, you can use your voucher to have your cat microchipped and registered on the NZCAR database.

Snip ‘n’ Chip availability is dependent on vet clinic capacity, is limited to targeted postcodes and only available until vouchers sell out. If you know someone who is not able to access the internet, or needs help with the online system, you can register on their behalf (using their details) or complete the registration alongside them.

Thank you to Franklin Vets Waihi Beach for helping us make this important campaign possible.

Please remember: This campaign is for cats only. A limited number of vouchers are available to help those who require financial assistance. Please, only get a voucher if you need one and intend to use it. In the past, we have noticed some vouchers were never used, or bookings were made with vet clinics and never attended. When this happens, it prevents someone else from using the voucher who might really need it.

For voucher Terms and Conditions please click here.

For more information on desexing, check out our FAQ section or see the resource page on our website.

This campaign has now finished.  Thank you for all your awesome work in helping us spread the word and thank you to everyone who booked their cat or dog in for desexing.

We're sorry to disappoint anyone who missed out on making an appointment.  No new dates have been set for the next campaign, but please keep an eye on our website for future dates and locations. 

If your cat or dog needs desexing and/or microchipping, please contact your local vet clinics and have a chat about their desexing options. You can also click here to see questions and answers about desexing, including advice on what to do if we are not currently in your area.
