Low Cost Spay/Neuter etc...

Massachusetts has a program that gives out vouchers for free spay/neuter for low income households.  This program can be found at:    https://www.mass.gov/service-details/spayneuter-voucher-program.  According to the site there is a waiting list but this may be a good option if you have the patience.  Otherwise, you can check out the clinics listed below.

Sterling Shelter Clinic - Sterling MA
Second Chance - North Brookfield MA

mid-state mobile veterinary clinic

Dr Michelle Bianco and Jackie Marble of Mid-State Mobile are a huge part of what makes us successful.  They make weekly visits to PetSmart to check on our kitties to make sure they are in good health.  They also come to the shelter when we are in need.  Their dedication over the years has allowed Ahimsa Haven to succeed and it seems only right that we give them a hearty huzzah (and a plug - click on the link!).
