Tame cats are considered pet cats or even friendly stray cats who have been abandoned or “strayed” from home, but were likely once pet cats. Tame cats can be picked up, held and easily handled. For more clarification on the differences between tame, stray and feral cats, see our FAQ section (above link).

No initial application is needed to bring a tame cat to our clinic, but advance reservations are required.

You can call our front desk at 818.524.2287 x 4 to speak to our receptionist and get booked for a spay/neuter reservation. The best time to call is between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. daily.

Tame cats will need to come to our clinic in hard plastic carriers; no pet bags, cardboard boxes or cardboard carriers are allowed. We require only one cat per carrier.

It is not required to show proof of income level in order to be eligible to bring a cat to our clinic.

For tame cats not being eartipped, our services are $55 for a female/spay or $40 for a male/neuter. See our price list under “Forms and Resources” in the lower right hand box for additional services offered.

If you are low-income or for any homeless or stray cats you are trying to help, we will provide free spay/neuter services, vaccines and flea treatment provided that the cat is eartipped (see our section “What We Do” > “Our Services” for more information).
