Why does Spaying or Neutering Matter? Spaying and neutering pets is one of the most effective ways to reduce overpopulation, prevent unnecessary suffering, and improve long-term animal health and behavior.

PetFix Spay & Neuter – Big Island, Hawai’i

PETFIX Spay and Neuter works to protect Hawaii’s communities and environment by providing safe and professional spay and neuter services on the Big Island at free clinics.

Reducing pet overpopulation improves the quality of life for Hawaiian communities and decreases the number of animals that will cause harm to the environment.

Our Vision

We envision an island where every animal is wanted and cared for, where no-kill animal sanctuaries offer temporary shelter until animals find forever homes. PETFIX Spay & Neuter allows sanctuaries to sustain no-kill policies by reducing the potential for unwanted animals.

About PETFIX

Beate and Bridget Neher, founding sisters of PETFIX Spay and Neuter, have been involved in animal welfare since growing up in Germany. After volunteering with different rescue organizations on Hawaiʻi Island for years, they decided to start PETFIX at the beginning of 2020. They excel in organizing and facilitating spay/neuter clinics, having developed strong bonds with various veterinarians in Hawaii and the US Mainland.​

Their focus is to provide free spay/neuter clinics in lower-income areas of the island, thereby reducing pet overpopulation and thus improving the quality of life for Hawaiian communities.

Basic Requirements for spay/neuter

Cats/Kittens

  • At least 2 lbs in weight.
  • If mom has had a recent litter, the kittens ideally are weaned (usually 4-5 weeks of age), meaning they are eating cat food and are not dependent on mom for feedings.
  • Why we tip cat ears.

Dogs/Puppies

  • No minimum weight, at least 10 weeks of age or older.
  • If mom has had a recent litter, the puppies ideally are weaned, meaning they are eating dog food and are not dependent on mom for feedings.

Most dogs and cats, even ‘senior’ animals, benefit from spay and neuter services. However, some animals may have pre-existing medical considerations and would be best served having such procedures at a full-service veterinary clinic.
Check with your vet or ask the PETFIX team if you have a senior animal, or one with medical issues.
