Cats Protection is running a chip and snip campaign in the Western and Northern Isles. Under the campaign you can get your pet cat neutered and microchipped for just £5. Please check with the vet whether there may be any additional cost.

Cats Protection recommends that cats are spayed or snipped at around four months of age or younger. Once neutered, cats live longer, healthier lives and it is the most humane way to stop unwanted pregnancies

Spaying or snipping also prevents some cancers, helps stop the spread of FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), reduces straying, fighting and spraying. Microchipping offers cats a safe method of identification so if they go missing they are more likely to be reunited with you.

The guidelines for eligibility for neutering assistance apply to one or more of the following; receipt of certain means-tested benefits, low household income, full-time students living away from home, state-only pension and pension credit. Proof of eligibility will be required by the vet in order to participate in the scheme.

The scheme is available directly via the participating vets - contact details can be found below.

Alternatively, if you wish to discuss the criteria for eligibility, please contact the Neutering team directly on 03000 12 12 12 (option 2) Monday to Friday, 9.30am–1pm.

A maximum voucher restriction applies to this campaign.
