Neutering

Getting your cat neutered is the best way to avoid unwanted litters of kittens. There are also many health benefits to neutering; it reduces fighting, injuries and vet bills and can stop your cat from straying too far from home. Find out more about neutering.

If you live in St Helens and are hesitant about neutering your cat because of the price, don’t worry - we might be able to help with the cost. Please get in touch to find out if you are eligible for a voucher.

Trap, neuter and return (TNR) - We can also help with advice on feral cat situations and may be able to help with trapping and neutering.
