Got Cats?

Spay and Stay works with compassionate individuals and local governments to humanely control the growth of the feral cat population in Lake County, Illinois using trap-neuter-return. We link people who care for feral cats with five veterinary clinics in the area to perform spay/neuter surgeries.
How We Work
- Call us at 847–289–4557 or e-mail us at info@spayandstay.org to reach one of our volunteers to see if your cats are eligible for our program. (If they are not eligible, we will refer you to a group that can help.) Do not trap cats before contacting Spay and Stay.
- Complete the caretaker registration form and fax, e-mail or mail it to us.
- Once your caretaker registration form has been confirmed by Spay and Stay, we will call you to arrange:
- Borrowing a Spay and Stay trap
- Scheduling an appointment with one of our veterinarians.

Remember, we cannot accept cats that have been trapped before you contact us.
