SNAP: Spay Neuter Assistance Programme
Every year many thousands of unwanted animals are born in Hong Kong often as a result of accidental mating. To prevent this problem, the SPCA advocates that all pets should be neutered particularly given the added health benefits to the animals.
We recognise, though, that desexing a pet can be expensive so the SPCA may be able to help in one of two ways.
1. Those receiving Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSAR)
Current holders of CSSA certificates may be eligible for financial assistance to help them desex their pets. Each case is evaluated separately after discussion with the applicant. For information contact us on 2802 0501. Terms and conditions apply.
2. Social Worker Referrals
Clients of social workers may also be eligible for financial assistance towards. As with the CSSAR support, each case is decided on its own merits following discussion with both the client and the social worker. For information contact us on 2802 0501. Terms and conditions apply.
