SPCA for Monterey County Veterinary Clinic

Sadly, we had to our our Beagle down and we couldn’t have asked for a more sympathetic, patient, kind group of people during such an emotionally distraught moment. I can’t say enough about how understanding and quick to assist the staff were. Hopefully, we don’t ever have to go through a similar experience again, but if we do, it will be with the SPCA.

We had our Frenchy Lulu spayed and have had no problems whatsoever. The veterinary doctors seemed knowledgeable and genuinely invested in each pet. The price was right also. The only issue was getting on schedule for the procedure. For months my husband and I checked the website to secure an opening. I was told that priority is given to repeat patrons who bring in feral animals but I don't know if that is actually true.

I miss how caring SPCA used to be back in the 90s and early 2000. I am a Disabled older woman with a cane. The young ladies at the counter did nothing to assist me carrying 6 separate carriers from my car to the door. I was very upset at their reasoning for putting animals down. If I could have gotten these kittens fixed sooner than two months out, they are extremely overbooked. I would have gotten them fixed and given them away myself. I doubt I will ever take an animal there ever again. I understand my friend had a feral in his apt, which was dropped in his patio a year ago, and when it got cold, it made her way inside. Before we could trap her, a male came in through the cat door. We continue to try and trap her, but the taking of her kittens to SPCA was done as a last resort to keep more kittens being born. They were already 3 months, and two more months trying to get a appt to have them fixed was just not do able given the fact we live in Apts that would not tolerate 6 kittens running around his patio. Please, people, don't drop your kittens on people's doorsteps in a box that also happened to my friend. I took this kitten in, and it breaks my heart how many cats are not fixed to stop this cruelty. Which causes the extreme rights of putting animals down for any medical issue. Issues that are curable, which also include any behaviorable issues that are curable with time that they don't have the time to work with. I am disappointed in absolutely everything that transpired over this issue.
