Helping you

The Desexing Clinic is entirely run by Massey staff and students who volunteer to provide these valuable services to the community.

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.

Snip 'n' Chip is not currently in your area. We aim to run a Snip 'n' Chip campaign in every region of the country at least once a year.

We have compiled some other options that may help you with desexing your animal:

Compare vet clinic prices
The cost for desexing surgery can vary between veterinary clinics and we recommend calling around to compare their prices. There are a number of vet clinics across the country that provide low cost desexing, as well as payment plans. Each vet clinic will be able discuss their individual processes and requirements, and answer any questions you may have, but generally kittens will need to be at least 1kg or approximately 8-12 weeks old before they can be desexed.

Look into other services
Other organisations or social services may be able to offer desexing services or provide financial assistance. Most of these can be found online through Google.

Check in regularly at “Help Someone Desex Their Pet”
Help Someone Desex Their Pet is a great resource page on Facebook that lists desexing options around the country and is updated regularly.

If needed, please contact your closest SPCA Centre as they may be able to offer local advice or assistance.
