The cost of spaying or neutering a pet is less than the cost of raising puppies or kittens for a year.

One female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in 6 years.

One female cat and her offspring can produce 370,000 kittens in 7 years.

Spay / Neuter Programs

TRAP / NEUTER / RELEASE PROGRAM

For communities with an over-population of feral but beloved cats:

BCHS will set up a program to trap targeted cats, have them spayed and neutered, administered rabies shots and be re-released into your community.

STRAY/BARN CAT LOW COST SPAY / NEUTER PROGRAM

For those of you who have been feeding a cat who just showed up in your back yard, or in your barn but do not consider it your "pet" the Bradford County Humane Society offers a program through which you can have it spayed or neutered at an affordable cost. This is to help avoid amassing litters of newborn kittens or deal with a male cat who fights and sprays. The cats will also be given a rabies shots at the time of neutering.

To register for this program, we ask that you do not call the shelter but pay a visit to our facility in Ulster to complete the form. We will answer any questions you have at that time. The spay/neutering fees will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Once you are on our list for this program, you will be notified to deliver your cat(s) in the morning of a given date and will need to return to pick them up two days later.

If you would like to make a donations towards the expansion of this program, you can send it to BCHS, PO Box 179, Ulster, PA 18850. BCHS is a United Way agency.
