www.spaycalifornia.com
This extensive online directory gives a thorough listing of all available low-cost spay/neuter clinics and vets for all of California. The listing is searchable by city, county and zip code. It provides information for where you can get dogs, tame cats, feral cats and rabbits fixed. Just go to www.spaycalifornia.com and enter your zip code to get a listing of the facilities closest to you. In most cases, the site also lists the prices and list of services that the vet or vet clinic provides. Be sure to call clinics ahead of time to confirm prices, though, and always book advance reservations. Don’t forget to ask the vet or clinic if they take City vouchers, too!
LA City Discount Vouchers for Spay/Neuter
Residents within the city limits of Los Angeles are eligible for up to three City vouchers a year, each good for $30 off the price of the spay or neuter surgery. People who show proof of low-income may be eligible for $70 City vouchers. All vouchers are subject to availability. Many vets and vet clinics will accept these vouchers towards the cost of spay or neuter, but some do not. If you plan on using a City voucher, ask the vet or clinic if they accept them when you call to book the appointment. Vouchers can be picked up at any City animal shelter location. Go to the LAAS website for more details and for shelter locations.
Free, Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinics for Low-Income (Limited Availability)
There are two mobile spay/neuter vans that travel around to various parts of Los Angeles each month. They offer free spay/neuter services for dogs and tame cats for low-income families. Proof of low income and advance reservations are required. Check out their websites for more details and for this month’s schedules.

These organizations can also refer you to low-cost spay/neuter facilities, if you are having troubles finding any in your area.
