FREE Spay/Neuter Program for Community Cats - Trapped cats accepted Monday-Thursday, 10am-6pm
Williamson County Animal Center's Community Cat program currently provides free spay/neuter surgeries for unowned outdoor cats in Williamson County.
All captured cats brought in by citizens will be spayed or neutered AT NO CHARGE at the shelter, and returned to their communities. Traps may be rented from the shelter for a $50 refundable deposit.
According to WCAC Community Cat program coordinator Samantha Anderson, trap-neuter-return (TNR) is the best way to reduce the cat population and can eliminate many nuisance behaviors. “TNR improves the lives of cats, reduces shelter admissions, disease and unwanted kittens,” she said. “But, in order to be effective, it must be a community-wide effort that extends beyond our staff. Citizens are encouraged to report community cats and participate in the TNR process.”
Public Spay/Neuter Program for Indoor Cats
The Williamson County Animal Center sponsors a financial need-based spay and neuter program for residents of Williamson County. This program enables residents to have their
family pet cats spayed or neutered at no cost to them if they meet the financial requirements during the application process.
The goal is to reduce unwanted or accidental litters of kittens in the community, which will lead to fewer cats being surrendered to the Animal Center. Having your pet spayed or neutered also reduces the chances that your pet will roam and will improve their overall health as they age. Please contact the Center at 615-790-5590, ext. 3 to get information or apply to participate in the program.
Public Spay/Neuter Program for Dogs
Due to an increase in intake of animals at WCAC, we no longer offer spay/neuter services for public dogs. Please contact our partners at People for Animals for information on their low cost program:
