Spay/Neuter Programs
To reduce cat and dog overpopulation, The Maryland SPCA provides four innovative programs that offer high-quality, low-cost, high-volume spay/neuter surgery:
- Feral-Fix is for feral cat caretakers participating in Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR). TNR is designed to control the feral cat population. To learn more about TNR in the Baltimore community, visit the Alley Cat Allies website.

Advantages of Spaying or Neutering
The Maryland SPCA advocates spaying and neutering of all pets to combat the tragic overpopulation situation. To this end, all cats and dogs adopted from the SPCA are spayed or neutered before they are released to their new owners.
Altering dogs and cats can dramatically reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancers. Additionally, altered dogs and cats are less likely to wander and become lost while searching for a mate, and are less likely to bite or become aggressive. These are all great reasons to spay or neuter your pet while helping to reduce the tragedy of pet overpopulation.
