Spaying and neutering play an essential role in keeping cats and communities healthier by preventing medical issues, reducing risky behaviors, and limiting unplanned litters that strain shelters. Cat cafés and their partnering rescues also help safeguard feline health by ensuring every cat is up to date on vaccines, parasite prevention, and other medical care before meeting the public.

Saving Animals From Euthanasia, Inc. is a non-profit organization that performs affordable spaying and neutering for dogs and cats locally to help prevent overcrowding of shelters. Their main surgery center is located in Macon, but they have a mobile vet bus that appears at certain locations for easier access.
