About Us
A Mission to Serve Pets
Dedicated to being a safe haven for pets in need by providing medical care, promoting adoptions, and nurturing the bond between pets and people in Southwest Florida.
The clinic at the Gulf Coast Humane Society shelter is open to the public for affordable spay/neuter surgeries. Appointments can be made online or by calling our medical staff at (239) 332-1573 or emailing spayneuterappointments@gulfcoasthumanesociety.org
For TNR appointments, please call our medical staff at (239) 332-1573
We will be closed for moving the week of May 11th-15th. All appointments starting May 18th will be at our new location: 2025 Arcadia Street
When making an appointment, a deposit of $50.00 is required. The deposit will be applied toward the final surgical invoice and is non-refundable without a 48 hour notice of cancellation.
All spay and neuter surgeries will now automatically include:
• Additional post-operative pain medication
• An e-collar (cone)
Including these items helps ensure pets are comfortable after surgery and reduces the risk of post-surgical complications, such as pets interfering with their incision.
This update reflects our commitment to providing safe, consistent, and compassionate care for every animal we serve. Thank you for your understanding as we implement this improvement.
To make an appointment to spay or neuter feral/community cats
Call (239) 332-1573 or Email spayneuterappointments@
The Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) program is designed specifically for unowned community cats and feral cats that will be returned to the location where they were trapped. This program is not for cats intended to be surrendered to the shelter.
The fee is $45 per cat, which includes surgery, rabies vaccination, and ear tipping (universal sign of a sterilized community cat).
This program helps control the community cat population while allowing healthy cats to live safely in the environment they know.
If an appointment is cancelled 48-hours prior to the appointment, the deposit will be refunded. If the appointment is cancelled within 48-hours, the deposit is non-refundable. To cancel an appointment, call our Spay/Neuter medical staff at the phone number listed above.
DISCLAIMER
All spay and neuter surgeries are performed at the discretion of the surgeon following a pre-surgical examination. Surgery may be denied if the veterinarian determines that the patient’s weight, overall health, or medical condition presents a risk. Animals considered high-risk will incur an additional $25 fee.
We have a new portal for scheduling appointments.
These steps will make it easier for you to schedule your spay or neuter appointments:
