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:

- Phone: (860) 713-2507

- 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.
- Phone: (800) 321-7387
- Website: friendsofanimals.org
- SpayCT: This is a statewide search engine that allows you to find local clinics and current voucher programs based on your specific zip code.
- Website: spayct.org

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.
