Pasado’s South King County Spay Station offers free microchips with each surgery – courtesy of Regional Animal Services of King County – for February, in honor of World Spay Day.

Animal welfare organizations, businesses, veterinary professionals and individuals present World Spay Day to emphasize the importance of spay/neuter as an effective way of saving animals’ lives. While World Spay Day officially falls on Feb. 25, the month is also Spay and Neuter Awareness Month.

All cat and dog spays and neuters will cost only $10 (space is limited). In addition, all cat surgeries for the entire month of February are a $10 co-pay, courtesy of South County Cats. The costs are for those income-qualified South King County residents.

Cat and dog spay/neuter is free for income-qualified residents living in the 98030 income-qualified, courtesy of PetSmart Charities.
