Spay & Neuter Program Spaying or neutering your pet has numerous health benefits for the animal, and is paramount to controlling pet overpopulation. Every year, already crowded shelters get inundated with new puppies and kittens. Some will find homes, some will not. Many will be euthanized simply because there are too many of them. Companion Animal Advocates wants to make spay & neuter surgery accessible for everyone. CAA will pay the $10 co-pay for any pet owner who qualifies for a low cost spay or neuter under the New Jersey Spay Neuter Program. Download our resource sheet for a description of New Jersey's low-cost Spay & Neuter program and a list of participating veterinarians.
