Oakland’s only open admissions shelter
Friends of Oakland Animal Services offers free spay/neuter services to dogs and cats of Oakland residents. Through our spay/neuter clinics and voucher program, we aim to ensure that financial need is not a barrier for Oakland residents seeking spay/neuter surgeries for their animals.
Appointments are first-come, first served. Oakland residents of limited financial means may bring pet cats, feral cats in traps, and pet dogs (of all sizes).
Pets will be checked in from 7:30 – 8:30am on a first-come, first-served basis. Surgeries will be performed by licensed veterinarians inside the East Bay SPCA spay/neuter clinic facility. Animals will also receive free vaccines and microchips.
Note: Cats and dogs must fast after midnight the night before surgery. Pets may drink water after midnight. This program is available to Oakland residents only. You will be asked to provide an Oakland address at check-in.
This event is fully funded by Friends of Oakland Animal Services and is made possible by the generosity of FOAS donors. Support our program to prevented unwanted litters in Oakland!
