Contact: Clinic@bbawc.org | (917) 426-3335
Our clinic, located inside the Brooklyn Cat Cafe, is now open! We offer low-cost spay/neuter services for owned pets as well as surgical and medical services to rescuers working with homeless cats.
**Please note: Our focus is on low-cost, high-quality veterinary services so our administration/reception services are very limited. Appointments must be booked online and we have very limited administrative assistance prior to your appointment. We appreciate your understanding.
Both pet owners and rescuers can book an appointment using our reservation system for spay/neuter services (available to owned AND homeless cats).
Rescuers are also welcome to book an appointment at our rescue clinic for exams and services (ONLY available for homeless cats).
Each cat must have an individual appointment. Healthy kittens may be booked two per appointment for the rescue clinic.
Rescuer Registration
Rescuers, TNR certified individuals and people helping homeless cats please register here before booking services. Pet owners do not need to register.
Cancelation and Late Policy
All clients prepay for appointments – refunds are only available if the appointment is canceled with 24 hour notice. If you will be late to your appointment, please notify us and we will do our best to accommodate if possible.
Intake Forms
After scheduling you must complete an intake form no later than the day before your appointment. Frms are found where you book your appointment and also in the confirmation email you will receive once you pay and book your visit.

Funding
In 2020, BBAWC received a grant from GS Humane to open a low cost clinic to provide basic rescue services to the rescue community and low cost spay-neuter services and to provide support for the individual rescuers and small rescue groups who rescue so many of New York City’s homeless animals but have limited access to low cost basic rescue services. We hope to reduce the financial burden of rescue so that more cats can be adopted or TNR’d and reduce the homeless cat population in New York City.
