Do you sterilise on Saturdays and Sundays?

I want to do sterilisation in my area as there are a lot of unsterilized dogs/cats. How does it work?



We work with our sister organization Yayasan Seva Bhuana, an Indonesian registered Yayasan. There are many steps that must be taken to organise and obtain approval to conduct a mass sterilisation day. This includes gathering the data for the village in which you wish to sterilise, contacting the klien for permission to sterilise in the village, contacting DISNAK for approval in writing and presenting the letter of approval and a flyer to the village banjar. This procedure takes months of planning and execution. The minimum time frame for booking a sterilisation day is 3 months.

Please note that you are responsible for funding the sterilisation day at a cost of $22.00AUD or rp220,000 per dog/cat. This means, that if you wish to sterilise 20 dogs and cats then you need pay $440.00AUD or rp4,400,000.00. If the sterilisation is in a rabies red zone (an area active for rabies) the cost increases to $30.00AUD or rp300,000.00 per dog or cat. We are unable to provide free sterilisation days due to lack of funding!
