The Sippy Creek Animal Refuge Society (SCARS) sometimes receives grant funding to sell vouchers for discounted dog and cat desexing. These vouchers can then be used to have an animal desexed a participating veterinary practice on the Sunshine Coast – Maleny Vet Services are proud to be one of those practices!

The program was set up to help people experiencing genuine financial hardship, to desex their pets. The ultimate aim of the SCARS discount desexing program is to decrease the number of unwanted litters across the Sunshine Coast, and in turn lessen the number of unwanted kittens and puppies ending up in refuge care.

To be eligible to purchase one of the vouchers, you must be a resident of the Sunshine Coast AND be experiencing a genuine financial hardship. Please read more about the program on the SCARS website and if eligible, purchase a voucher directly through them.

Once you have purchased a voucher, please call us on 07 5494 3622 to chat with one of our friendly receptionists and we will email you an obligation-free estimate of the costs, and a summary of the process for peace of mind. Please note that whilst a voucher covers the cost of a straightforward spey or castration, surcharges may apply depending on the age of the animal and complexity of the surgery. The purpose of sending you an estimate is so you are aware of the potential final price, prior to booking the actual surgery.
