Spay & Neuter Clinic
The tragedy of pet overpopulation is a growing concern in Redding and across the nation. Sterilization is the most humane weapon in this struggle and spay/neuter clinics are considered the most effective means of sterilization. Haven Humane Society's Spay/Neuter Clinic opened its doors in January 2002 and can handle up to 4,000 animal sterilization surgeries each year. Our first priority is to provide spay, neuter and medical services for animals at the shelter. We also provide these services, by appointment only, to limited-income clients who qualify. And, in support of the animal shelter and rescue group community, the Spay/Neuter Clinic also provides full medical care for all documented 501(c)(3) rescue groups and shelters.
Spay/neuter clinics help save lives and stabilize escalating shelter and animal control costs by:
- Reducing unwanted animal births
- Reducing the number of homeless animals on city and county streets in need of shelter care
- Increasing the probability of suitable placement for adoptable animals
- Providing a responsible means of reducing animal suffering
Our goal is to reduce the number of unwanted animal births and euthanasias performed on healthy animals. Our staff is dedicated to this mission and to providing the highest quality medical care for the animals they serve.

Cats may be dropped off at the clinic between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. and picked up between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. Traps are available on loan with a $75 refundable deposit.
