Press Release

by ECT

Martinez, CA – Beginning on March 1, 2022, Contra Costa Animal Services (CCAS) resumed taking spay and neuter appointments for owned pets in Contra Costa County. Surgery appointments will be available Tuesdays-Fridays at CCAS’s Martinez shelter. To schedule an appointment, please visit the Department’s Spay/Neuter & Vaccination Clinic Page.

“We’re excited to be resuming our spay and neuter clinic for pet owners in Contra Costa County,” said Beth Ward, Director of Contra Costa Animal Services. “We appreciate your patience and understanding while we ramp up this service, as we expect appointments to fill up quickly due to the high demand.”

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, appointments for pet owners were limited or suspended for most of the last two years. Despite this challenge, CCAS was able to provide more than 2,800 low-cost spay and neuter surgeries for adopted pets, transferred pets, shelter pets that were reunited with their owners and community cats in 2021.
