QC’s Mega Kapon provides free spaying and neutering to over 700 cats and dogs

More than 700 cats and dogs underwent free spaying and neutering during a massive animal welfare initiative organized by the Quezon City government in Barangay Payatas on November 7.

Mayor Joy Belmonte announced the successful Mega Kapon program, which ran from morning until evening and served pet owners from Barangays Payatas and Commonwealth.

The initiative aims to address the growing population of stray and unwanted animals while encouraging responsible pet ownership.

Belmonte thanked the participating veterinarians, city personnel, volunteers, and partner organizations, including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and Biyaya Animal Care Foundation.

The city government also announced another Mega Kapon event on November 21 for residents of Barangays Bagong Silangan and Batasan Hills.

Meanwhile, free spaying and neutering services remain available every Wednesday at the QC Animal Care and Adoption Center, with additional operations conducted weekly in different barangays.

Residents interested in availing themselves of the services may contact the QC Animal Care and Adoption Center on Clemente Street, Lupang Pangako, Barangay Payatas.

Spaying and neutering help prevent unwanted litters, reduce animal abandonment, and control the population of stray cats and dogs.

The program is part of Quezon City’s continuing efforts to promote animal welfare and responsible pet ownership.
