Spay / Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP)

Best Friends’ SNAP (Spay/Neuter Assistance Program) offers two levels of assistance to pet owners in the Oklahoma City metro area: low income pet owners and the general public.

Low income pet owners are those receiving Medicaid, OKDHS or SSI (Supplemental Security Income) assistance and having proof of benefits such as an Oklahoma Health Care Authority card, Access card, or Notice of Award letter. Fees are $10 for cats and $20 for dogs. Rabies vaccinations are $5 and are only available at the time of surgery.

General public fees are $35 for male cats, $60 for female cats, $70 for male dogs and $90 for female dogs. Rabies vaccinations are $5 and are only available at the time of surgery. If your gross income is $35,000 or less and you do not qualify for SNAP’s low income assistance, contact Volunteers for Animal Welfare’s SPOT Clinic at 606-8476. SPOT fees are $35 for dogs, $25 for cats, $5 rabies vaccinations and $5 annual vaccinations.

Best Friends works with about 30 veterinary clinics in Oklahoma City, Edmond, Midwest City, Mustang, Norman and Yukon. Ages at which pets may be spayed or neutered vary by clinic, and some clinics will spay or neuter pets as young as 8 weeks or weighing at least 2 pounds.

SNAP is only available for owned pets and is limited to four pets each year. SNAP will not cover feral or stray animals. For information on spaying or neutering feral cats, contact Volunteers for Animal Welfare’s SPOT Clinic or Oklahoma Humane Society.

To receive a SNAP application, call Best Friends at 629-6795. The SNAP application is a two-part form and must be mailed. It cannot be faxed or emailed.

Along with the application, you will receive a letter explaining how SNAP works and a list of participating veterinarians. You must complete and submit the application with payment of fees and proof of low income eligibility, if applicable, to Best Friends for approval. We will return your approved application then you can make an appointment with a participating SNAP veterinary clinic. SNAP applications expire 30 days from the approval date.

Most of these programs are priced at $35 per dog and $25 per cat., plus $5 for rabies. Many have a sliding scale in place for those unable to afford those prices. Sliding scale (below $35/ $25) is variable depending on available funds. Most programs require income eligibility. Most of these programs are staffed in all or part by volunteers, please allow up to 72 hours for response to calls for appointments. Appointments are necessary at all of these programs.

All locations in Oklahoma are welcome to use transport in order to access programs in Tulsa, OK City, Lawton, and most locations served by mobile units.

Many welcome feral cats, but we know of none able to assist with cost of feral colonies, so they are $25 per cat.

For further animal friendly references including sheltering, foster care, legislative alerts and more, call Oklahoma Humane Federation at 918-336-0442.
