CARA Clinic

Due to a very generous benefactor, CARA opened its doors to their new premises in December 2009. The clinic is situated at Malate in Metro Manila – Location

CARA’s goal is to make spay & neuter services affordable to everyone from all walks in life.

In making the operation within people’s budgets, it will help towards curbing the over population, while preventing endless cruelty to unwanted off-spring, plus stopping the anti-social behavior that is associated with an unfixed animal. CARA’s dream is to eventually own a fully equipped spay & neuter vehicle, to enable them to reach residents who are unable to afford the transport costs to travel to the clinic.

Please note: CARA does not run an animal shelter at this clinic. All CARA rescue cats are kept in houses of our members who rescue them. Exceptional cases are housed at the clinic awaiting adoption.

If you would like more information on the benefits of spaying and neutering, please read  Why Spay & Neuter your furry friend will thank you.

The work we do at the CARA clinic would not be possible without the dedication of our volunteer vets Dr. Riza and Dr. Dan, who generously offer their time and services to help CARA achieve its mission: making spay/neuter the most effective and humane way to control the population of the the street animals. With their help, we are also able to make spay/neuter available and affordable to lower income communities.

ELIGIBILITY FOR LOW COST SERVICES

Cat or dog should be a native Philippine rescue, TNR, or adopted from shelter, and at least 6 months old.

Spaying and neutering carries the risks normally associated with general anesthesia and surgery. Although the spay surgery is very routine, it is still a major abdominal operation for the females.

Therefore the cat or dog must be healthy, well fed and with no signs of illness. If your pet is showing any signs of illness such as coughing, sneezing, runny eyes, or diarrhea it will be declined for surgery.

All dogs brought to the clinic for spay/neuter (kapon) should have an updated vaccination certificate with them. We have a lot of distemper cases around and we do not want to risk spreading it.

SURGERY

Surgery is usually on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday depending on availability of the volunteer vet. Dogs should be scheduled for Thursday or Sunday.

Tuesday: 7 – 10am

Thursday: 9 – 12pm

Sunday: Please confirm a day before
