All animals are spayed/neutered before being adopted. They do have specials on adult cats sometimes. And the local football team, Oakland Raiders, sometimes sponsors adult cat adoptions as well. Then once a year there is a two day event called Maddie's Day where ALL adoptions are free. This event is not only at our shelter but also many other surrounding shelters.

We also have a senior discount of $50 for 60 years and up. And you get a 60% discount on dogs and puppies first seven week training class held at the shelter. Also every animal gets a free visit to a VCA vet. Although, my vet gives the first visit free anyway for puppies and kittens.

We paid full price for Taggart (he was 6 months old so $225) and we got Jax at Maddie's Day last year, so he was free. I'm not sure how I feel about the pricing. I have to think it's pretty reasonable just knowing the care that is given to the animals, plus this is the Bay Area in California so everything is more expensive.
Wanted to add: All pets are micro-chipped and examined and treated for any illnesses. Some pets have to have surgeries for certain things too. The adoption fee does not change if the animal has to have surgery.
