AnimalCare is a medical fund that helps in the spay-neuter and medical needs of street animals.
Note: Pets are NOT street animals.
Our subsidy assistance is open to needy rescuers, feeders and caregivers of street animals. We provide a subsidy if you require monetary help in getting a street animal spayed-neutered or medically treated for an illness or injury.
Who qualifies for our subsidy:
1. Newly rescued street animals.
2. Community animals (living in the community but not adopted).
3. Recently adopted street animals:
a. Within one year of adoption for baby animals.
b. Within six months of adoption for adults animals.
Our maximum subsidy for spay neuter:
Male cat – RM80
Female cat – RM100
Male dog – RM100
Female dog – RM120
If your vet’s rates are lower than the above, we will subsidise the lower one.
If you have many animals, please consider using the services of Klinik Kembiri (03-40243446). They provide the most affordable rates in town.
We will NOT subsidise the spaying of a pregnant female animal.
Recommended age for spay-neuter (subject to vet’s advice and circumstances):
Female: 4.5 months
Male: 8 months
If you need to return the animal to its colony, vets may agree to do the procedure at a younger age.
Our maximum subsidy for medical treatment:
50% of the cost subject to a maximum of RM500 if you only apply to our fund.
If you apply to more than one fund, please refer to the Multiple Fund Policy below.

2. Once approved, choose a vet of your choice and get the procedure done by your vet.
