Low-Income Vouchers These fee rates above are available to any resident of Santa Cruz County who chooses to use our PLANNED PetHood program. Supplementing our PLANNED PetHood program, there are two nonprofit organizations that provide spay/neuter assistance in the form of vouchers to qualifying low-income residents. The Friends of Santa Cruz County Animals (FOSCCA) provides services to all of Santa Cruz County, including the unincorporated areas around Watsonville. There are limited numbers of these vouchers availible monthly. This program does NOT serve residents within the city limits of the incorporated City of Watsonville or the City of Freedom. The Friends of the Watsonville Animal Shelter (FOWAS) serves residents of the incorporated City of Watsonville and the City of Freedom. |
