Ensuring the well-being of your beloved pets and contributing to the overall health of our community is a victory for all. The act of spaying or neutering your furry companions not only extends their lifespan but also mitigates undesirable behaviors, such as marking and spraying.
The positive impact goes beyond your household, reaching local animal shelters grappling with the challenges posed by an overwhelming influx of animals. By spaying or neutering your pets, you actively prevent them from adding to the population of homeless animals, thereby relieving the burden on Maumelle Animal Services (our city’s shelter), other surrounding shelters, and local foster families.
We understand that times are hard and many pet owners are encountering financial challenges in pursuing these essential procedures. HELP IS ON THE WAY! Maumelle Friends of the Animals is excited to introduce the Spay and Neuter Initiative Project, known as Snip and Chip. This initiative is specifically designed to alleviate the financial strain on Maumelle residents, who meet the income requirements, as they care for their animals.
Snip and Chip will soon be accepting applications from Maumelle residents. Successful Approved applicants will be provided with spay and neuter vouchers, redeemable at our participating veterinarian clinics: Companions Spay and Neuter Clinic, Mayflower Animal Clinic, and Arkansas for Animals Operation SaVE.
In the near future, MFOA will also be adding microchipping to its voucher program.
When you apply for a voucher, please ensure you have the following information and documents ready:
* Annual income and family size
* A screenshot of your name and address on a current utility bill for proof of residency
Our vouchers are valid for 60 days, so we recommend contacting the participating spay/neuter clinics ahead of time to inquire about pricing and appointment availability. Please note that our voucher program serves as a subsidy and may not cover the entire cost of the procedure(s) needed. You will be responsible for any costs exceeding what our voucher covers.
Once you've made an appointment at one of our participating vet clinics, submit your voucher application, which will soon be found on our “programs” tab of our website. If you qualify, you can expect to receive your voucher via email within 24 hours in most cases. Vouchers will expire after 60 days.
Voucher Details:
Up to $30.00 off the chosen veterinarian's charges (per cat) for Spay/Neuter procedures.
Up to $50.00 off the chosen veterinarian's charges (per dog) for Spay/Neuter procedures.
We invite you to take a proactive step towards responsible pet ownership by applying for Snip ‘N Chip today. Maumelle Friends of the Animals is committed to breaking down financial barriers to spaying and neutering. Together, let's create a healthier and happier community for our pets!
