Low-Cost Spay/Neuter for Greater Cincinnati,
Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana

Providing training for our staff is a key element of UCAN’s success for providing quality, high volume, low cost spay and neuter surgeries. A generous grant from PetSmart Charities ® provided several staff members an excellent training opportunity at the Humane Alliance, in Asheville, North Carolina this past Fall.

UCAN is based on the Humane Alliance model. This organization is a chief trainer for clinics such as ours across the U.S. We believe training at Humane Alliance not only benefits new staff members individually but improves our team as a whole. Our thanks to PetSmart Charities.

The Kenneth A. Scott Charitable Trust, a KeyBank trust, has made a one-year renewal grant of $25,000 to help continue year three of our Pets in Need program which is a partnership between UCAN and the Freestore Foodbank. This foundation's initial grant helped establish the Pets in Need program in 2010 and also supported the second year of the program. Their continuing support is most appreciated.

Pets in Need targets pets from households in the most under served areas of Greater Cincinnati; it provides basic veterinary care in addition to discounted spay/neuter surgeries for companion cats and dogs whose owners could not otherwise afford veterinary care. Pets in Need clinics are generally held twice per month.

TOO MANY PETS. TOO FEW HOMES..........................................................................about this photo

We have a solution. Each year in the U.S. millions of innocent animals are abandoned. Some fend for themselves on the streets. Many ar abused. Other are brought to shelters. The millions of cats and dogs not lucky enough to be adopted are euthanized.

The solution is simple. Spaying and neutering dogs and cats prevents unwanted births and reduces the number of animals that will wind up in overcrowded shelters and rescues only to be destroyed. UCAN has completed more than 38,000 spay and neuter surgeries, preventing many times that number of unwanted kitten and puppy births.

Your help makes it all possible. We rely on individual giving to bridge the gap between our low clinic fees and the actual cost of operating the clinic. Your gift today will help us to continue working to realize othis dream - one day at a time, one animal at a time. Please be as generous as you can

Every dollar helps to continue our mission. Please be as generous as you can.

In cooperation with the Northern Kentucky Friends of the Shelter (FOTS), UCAN is now offering bi-weekly transports from the Boone County Animal Shelter.  

This joint program allows qualifying Northern Kentucky residents to pay only $15 for a dog spay or neuter and only $10 for a cat spay or neuter.  Both prices include a free rabies vaccine. The remaining cost is generously covered by FOTS. This program will continue until further notice.

Pets are picked up for surgery on Thursday mornings  and returned the next day. There is no charge for the transport service. 

For more information, please call 859-282-9084.

UCAN, the United Coalition for Animals' spay and neuter clinic, wants you to "imagine a world without euthanasia" by taking action and removing your pet's sex organs. Because it's a nonprofit, even people on an editor's salary can afford to prevent Fifi or Fido from any pregnancy scares by handing them over to UCAN's caring staff.   , , , read more
