Westside Community Desexing is a not-for-profit veterinary clinic established in 2021 by two experienced veterinarians determined to decrease unwanted cats and kittens by offering affordable desexing services.
Its establishment was supported through a state government grant program.
There are an estimated 300,000 cats in the region, including owned and unowned cats. By increasing the number of cats desexed, especially before they start breeding at four months old, the high euthanasia rates of cats and kittens can be reduced.
Westside Community Desexing’s passion and mission is to “desex the west”.
“A desexed cat is a healthy and happy cat!”
Prices can be kept low as Westside is a dedicated, well-equipped clinic with a skilled team of experienced vets, nurses and volunteers.
Affordable services include:
• Desexing surgeries (spay/castrate) for adult cats and kittens from 10 weeks of age as well as small dogs (under 15kg)
• Vaccinations of puppies, kittens, cats and dogs
• Microchipping which can be done in a consultation or during surgery
With over 6000 cats and kittens desexed and microchipped, the team at Westside has already made a positive impact for cat welfare, local communities and the environment. Unwanted animals are everyone’s responsibility, and Westside takes pride in collaborating with communities, local councils, rescue and foster groups.
They work with local councils developing and continuing low cost targeted desexing programs which give the best result in decreasing unwanted cats, strays, cat complaints and impoundments. These partnerships achieve shared goals, and the Westside team acknowledge councils for being committed to this cause.
Along with regular low prices, Westside often has different subsidised programs in place and there may be transport options available in your area.
