No more free spays and neutering for cats, but you can still get it done for $15, which is a bargain. Miami-Dade Animal Services provides $15 spaying and neutering for cats starting at 8 a.m. every Thursday at the shelter, 7401 NW 74th St.
The service is for Miami-Dade residents only. Cats must be in carriers and must be at least 2 months old. Those over 4 months must have proof of current rabies vaccine (which the county administers for $10).
There is a limit of four cats per household, and cats should not have any food or water after 9 p.m. the night before. Feral cats will be ear tipped.
The shelter also microchips pets for $10, no appointment necessary.

Thank you for providing this wonderful service. If every county in the country could do this, it would send the senseless killing of healthy animals.

These kittens were dumped in an office building in Kendall around 2005. I took care of them until I found them homes.
