Atlanta, GA 30334

The winning art will be featured on the new Feline Friend license plate, which will be sold in addition to the current designs beginning in December. The dog and cat license plates currently are the primary funding source for the Dog and Cat Sterilization Program (DCSP). This innovative program provides subsidies for spay/neuter procedures performed by licensed and accredited veterinarians in all 159 Georgia counties.  

More than 35,000 spay/neuter procedures have been performed since 2003 through the DCSP.

Unlike other spay/neuter programs, the Dog and Cat Sterilization Program has no participation income requirements.  All Georgia residents may benefit from spay/neuter subsidies granted by the DCSP.  

Interested residents should contact their local veterinarians to confirm program participation or call the Department at (404) 656-3667 or visit www.agr.state.ga.us for more information.
