Help Fix ME!
The goal of the Help Fix ME is a spay & neuter program working to reduce shelter intakes and euthanasia. The program is restricted to cats and mostly pit bulls and pit bull mixes. This spay/neuter program is for low-income* households only. The portion you pay for a cat is $10. If you truly cannot afford the $10, there is sometimes limited funding available to help with this co-pay. Contact Help Fix ME: 1-800-367-1317 or (207) 287-7621.
* You will qualify for Help Fix ME if you are a Maine resident and receive: food stamps, TANF, MaineCare, SSI or SSD or have an income below 133% of the federal poverty level (you do not have to be receiving any government assistance).
