State & National Assistance Programs

If you are working with feral cats or meet certain income requirements, these programs can significantly reduce costs at participating private veterinarians:

  • CT Department of Agriculture (APCP): Provides vouchers for pets adopted from municipal shelters and for residents who meet low-income eligibility. They also have specific grants for feral cat sterilization.
  • Friends of Animals (FoA): You can purchase a certificate at a set low cost online, which is then honored by a network of participating vets across Connecticut.
  • SpayCT: This is a statewide search engine that allows you to find local clinics and current voucher programs based on your specific zip code.

Feline-Specific Organizations & Vouchers

These organizations may not have their own building but provide vouchers or partner with local vets to provide discounted cat surgeries:

  • Greater New Haven Cat Project: Focuses specifically on low-cost spay/neuter for cats in the New Haven area.
  • Central CT Cat Project: Provides subsidized vouchers for cat owners and caretakers in Central Connecticut.
  • TAILS (The Alliance in Limiting Strays): Offers support for those in the Fairfield County area.
  • Friends of Animals: You can buy a certificate online that is accepted by many private practice vets in CT.

Private Practices Accepting State Vouchers

If you obtain a Low-Income Voucher or a Feral Cat Voucher from the CT Department of Agriculture (APCP), the following private vets are currently listed as participants:

  • Southington Veterinary Associates (Southington) – (860) 621-9328
  • Compassionate Care Veterinary Hospital (Berlin) – (860) 438-7597
  • Chippens Hill Veterinary Hospital (Bristol) – (860) 583-9271
  • Double A Veterinary Hospital (Wethersfield) – (860) 529-0668
  • Chester Veterinary Hospital (Chester) – (860) 526-5313

Important Considerations:

  • Feral vs. Pet: If you are trapping community cats (TNR), always mention they are in a trap. Facilities like TEAM, Nutmeg, and POA Spay often have significantly lower “feral” rates that include a rabies vaccine and an ear-tip.
  • Voucher Eligibility: The state APCP program offers vouchers for residents on public assistance (DSS). You can apply through the CT Department of Agriculture website.
