YVAS offers limited low-cost spay and neuter services for owned pets.
NOW OFFERING MULTIPLE DAYS AND RABBIT SPAY/NEUTER!
We recognize that there is a huge need for these services in our community. Our services are NOT for those simply looking to saving money while those truly in need miss out. We kindly ask that our low-cost appointments be kept available only for those who are financially unable to receive veterinary care at a regular clinic.
These clinics will take place at the shelter (5056 Jellison Rd). We will open up later dates as frequently as we can. If all spots are full, please keep checking back for cancellations and additions to our future available appointments.
YVAS offers several TNR Clinics each year for people caring for feral/community cats within Yellowstone County. While these clinics are FREE, donations are always appreciated to help us continue to provide these services. Pre-registration is highly encouraged to ensure your spot, though walk-ins may be accepted if space/time allows.
Community Cat Clinics are offered as YVAS scheduling allows. In 2026 we have planned on offering Community Cat Clinics in February, March and April. Visit our Events & Happenings page for more information/registration for upcoming clinics.
YVAS May also be able to provide in-house TNR services as scheduling allows.
Got a mama cat or dog with babies and aren’t sure what to do? Call us and we will get you signed up for our Single Mama Special! For $80 for cats or $100 for dogs, we will spay your mama cat/dog, provide mama with vaccinations and a microchip, and provide medical care & adoption services for all of her babies. We can also help you neuter dad if you own him too.
Step #1 – Call 406-294-7387 and make an appointment for the Single Mama Special.
Step #2 – Bring in the mama and all of her babies for a check-up. The babies will receive their first vaccinations. At this appointment, you will also pay a $80-$100 fee to cover the cost of the mama spay. She will not be spayed until the kittens/puppies are old enough to be weaned.
Step #3 – Babies are enrolled in our Foster Program, with you as their Foster Parent! You take them back home until they are eight weeks of age and/or weigh a robust 1.5 pounds.
*Please note that you will be responsible for bringing them back every two weeks for booster vaccinations until they are old enough to be fixed. We can also supply you with supplies for the kittens/puppies if needed.
Step #4 – Once the kittens/puppies are eight weeks old and/or weigh a robust 1.5 pounds, they and their mama will be scheduled to return to the shelter for spay/neuter. Mama will return home with you, and the kittens/puppies will stay at YVAS to find new, loving homes.
