Involve your Vet Clinic
We would like to work in collaboration with your veterinary practice, to make an impact on the number of unwanted animals being born across the country.
Animals desexed
Helping you
desex & microchip your animals.
We offer vouchers across Aotearoa New Zealand at different times of the year.
Desexing and microchipping are key ways to improve animal welfare in Aotearoa New Zealand.
It reduces the number of unwanted litters and lost animals, improves welfare for these animals, and positively impacts the environment. Microchipping is also a great way to help owners be reunited with their lost pets.

SNIP ‘N’ CHIP COMES TO GISBORNE!
We are excited to announce that we are launching a new Snip ‘n’ Chip campaign for cat owners in Gisborne, Wairoa, and other areas in the region.
From 1 March 2023 we are working with local participating veterinary clinics to offer this service to cat owners who need a helping hand with the cost of desexing and microchipping.
Making desexing services accessible to everyone is important to us, and now with $30 Snip ‘n’ Chip online vouchers, we aim to make the process of registering for these vital procedures even easier!
Bookings are now OPEN, so click "Book Now" to check if you’re eligible 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.
Thank you to our participating vet clinics for making this campaign possible.
Please note this campaign is for cats only, there is a limit of 10 vouchers per registration and vouchers are only available through the online voucher system on the Snip ‘n’ Chip website. 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.
Vouchers available
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 Massey-SPCA Desexing Clinic offers cat neutering (males) for $15 and cat spaying (females) for $25. 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.
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.
