FAQs

What if I cannot locate a clinic near me?

BSC funds mobile clinics for zip codes 90011 and 90058. To locate a clinic near you click here. If there are no clinics near you, reach out to your local shelter and see if they will accept community cats for a spay/neuter.

I do not have the means to transport my trapped community cat to a clinic, what should I do?

If you do not have the means to bring your community cat in for their spay/neuter, you may be able to team-up with others in your community. Post on Nextdoor or neighborhood facebook groups to find a neighbor who may be willing to help you transport the cat.

Do you relocate community cats?

No, we do not relocate community cats. It is inhumane and cruel to remove community cats from their neighborhoods and release them elsewhere. The most humane thing to do is to spay/neuter them and return them to their neighborhoods. If cats are removed from their outdoor home, it creates a “vacuum effect,” or territorial opening, in which new cats will then fill.

Most clinics are not open on weekends and I have a work conflict that will prevent me from transporting my trapped community cat during the weekday. What should I do?

Our mobile clinics operate on Saturdays and Sundays. If you are in 90011 or 90058 please fill out our TNR help request form. If you are outside of our service area, the following clinics operate on weekends- Amazing Small Animal Practice (Gardena), Fixnation (Burbank), Spay4LA (mobile).

I do not have access to a trap or they are too expensive to purchase. Are there other options?

Please refer to our trap rental page for additional information by clicking here.

Am I expected to cover the cost of spay or neutering services?

Depending on the clinic, vouchers may cover the cost of the spay/neuter. For voucher information, please click here.

I reached out to a nonprofit for help with TNRing a cat, they aren’t responding, what do I do?

Most nonprofits are staffed by volunteers (with day jobs) and are incredibly backlogged with help requests. By the time they may get back to you or be able to assist you with TNRing, you could have many more cats (and kittens) to fix. Bobbie’s Street Cats hopes to provide you with the resources, education and tools to spay and neuter cats in your neighborhood.
