Deposit

A $50 deposit is required within a week of the time the appointment is made. The deposit can be in the form of a money order, check, or charge. If we do not receive a deposit within the time allotted your appointment will be cancelled and you will need to reschedule. We require 48 hours cancellation notice. Cancellations with less than 48 hours will not receive a refund on the deposit. Payment must be received at the time of intake (cash, check or charge). If booking three or more cats on one day, the full non-refundable payment must be paid in advance when booking the appointment.

Program Requirements

The Providence Animal Rescue does not provide any post-operative care. Any and all post-operative care required will be at the owner’s expense with a veterinarian of the owner’s choice.

Pets should not have access to food or water after 9:00 pm the night before surgery.

Drop off for surgery at our shelter is between 8:00 and 8:15 am, and pick up is at 3:00 p.m. Other pick up arrangements must be made in advance.

The legal owner of the pet must drop the animal off and sign release paperwork allowing the Providence Animal Rescue League to examine and perform surgery.

All cats must be brought in individual plastic carriers — please be sure carrier is clean and has a clean towel in the bottom. (Appropriate carriers are available for purchase at PARL.)

No nursing or lactating mothers.

All animals will be tattooed at the time of surgery to indicate that your pet has been spayed/neutered.

Once is Enough! Spay Me Program

We all know that there are more dogs and cats out there than homes. To help battle the overpopulation problem PARL offers a free spay program. We will spay the mother of the litter for free when the kittens or puppies are surrendered to the shelter. For more information about this program call (401) 421-1399 x0
