SPAY/NEUTER CLINICS Please see our information about Operation CatNIP on our web site for City of Harrisburg residents. For additional information about Spay/Neuter clinics, please contact SNAP by visiting their web site at www.snapofpa.org or PAWS at www.pawsofpa.org. STRAY CATS If you have stray cats that ARE NOT afraid of humans and wish to find them a home -- please note that we would ask that you foster the cat(s). If you can do this, please complete our online Foster Application and indicate as such within the application. We would ask that you consider making a donation or assist with a fundraiser if able -- in order to help defray costs. OR you can find a home for them yourself after having them spayed or neutered in order to not add to the population problem -- see Pet Resource Library and scroll down to PET PLACEMENT. If you have stray cats that ARE afraid of humans and wish to humanely address the issue by borrowing traps and fixing the cats at a spay/neuter clinic, please email info@castawaycritters.org for more information on resources in our area.
Please note that the Harrisburg Humane Society and the Lancaster Humane League both operate spay/neuter clinics for the public. Please visit their web sites.
