SNAP Registration: Friday, December 6, 11 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
The SNAP voucher does not cover the total cost of the spay/neuter surgery but will reduce the cost of the basic surgery. The voucher does not decrease the added costs for special conditions such as pregnancy, heat, or undescended testicles. It also does not cover required pain medication or updated vaccines. (A current rabies vaccine is required by state law.) Ask the vet's office staff how much you will need to be prepared to pay beyond the value of the voucher. SNAP vouchers are for cats and dogs that will be about 6 months or older at the time of surgery.
Spay/neuter vouchers cost $50 (female) or $40 (male) for dogs and $35 (female) or $25 (male) for cats for Wilkes County, NC, residents 18 years or older who have Medicaid or whose annual taxable household income is at or under $30,000/year. Please plan to pay the HSOW this amount, per pet, when you get your voucher in cash (exact change) or by check.
SNAP vouchers are good for 45 business days after issue.
