Feral-friendly vets and spay/neuter clinics in Virginia, Maryland, DC

Please send us info on feral-friendly vets and clinics to post to this list. A feral-friendly vet is one who believes in Trap/Neuter/Return and is willing and able to provide medical care to ferals with the same respect and compassion they would give to a family pet.

District of Columbia

  • In fall 2007 the Washington Humane Society, along with founding partner Alley Cat Allies opened the first ever low-cost Regional Spay/Neuter Center, created specifically to service the entire DC metropolitan area. The National Capital Area Spay & Neuter Cente is located at 1001 L Street on Capitol Hill in Southeast Washington, DC.
  • Only $45 for cat spays or neuters....$100 for dogs --see the price list at: http://www.washhumane.org/snclinic.asp
  • The new facility will address the desperate need for low-cost spay/neuter of domestic animals with a goal of providing sterilization surgery on up to 75 animals every day, five days a week. The volume of animals will come from the Washington Humane Society Animal Shelter, the DC Animal Shelter (operated by the Washington Humane Society), as well as many other participating shelters, rescue groups and animal control agencies from around the region.
  • Our CatNiPP program www.washhumane.org/catnipp.asp is a distinct component from our general spay/neuter resources – with separate support and pricing. No-cost for stray and feral cats living within DC. $45 per cat for stray and feral cats from anywhere outside of DC – that includes all of the feral services: Sterilization; Rabies and FVRCP vaccinations; Eartip; Flea treatment; Ear cleaning; SQ fluids; and General physical assessment. Appointments are REQUIRED.  Any trapper or caregiver who would like to learn more or go about scheduling appointments should contact Bridget Speiser 202-608-1356 x 101 or via email: bspeiser@washhumane.org
