This city-by-city guide helps you quickly check what’s available where you live, and what to do next if your city doesn’t regularly post free kapon schedules.

The SCeNT Project typically requires pre-registration (on a first-come, first-served basis) and may be limited to specific barangays.

6. Pasay

Pasay’s city veterinary public updates commonly highlight services like anti-rabies efforts, while a consistent city-run free kapon schedule is not widely posted in the same way.

If you’re a Pasay resident, contact the City Veterinary Office directly to ask if kapon missions are available via request, partner events, or scheduled city caravans.

7. Pasig

The Veterinary Services Department (VSD) of Pasig City launched CaSpay Fridays on April 22, 2024. CaSpay days are free neutering days for male aspins and puspins.

Since capacity is limited, it’s best to follow the city’s official updates and secure a slot as soon as registration opens.

8. Quezon City

The Quezon City Veterinary Clinic offers free spay/neuter, anti-rabies, and other veterinary services for QC residents.

Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/QCVD.clinic

Aside from the QC Vet Clinic, the city also regularly organizes kapon events in barangays by the Animal Care and Disease Control Division.

The QC Animal Care and Adoption Center also offers free spay and neuter.

Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/animalcareandadoptioncenter

Expect guidelines around residency proof – usually presenting QC ID, registration, and scheduling.

9. San Juan

San Juan has announced city veterinary office-led free spay/neuter events with a set date and a limited number of slots.

Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/OVSSanJuan

These are usually time-bound campaigns, so it helps to watch for seasonal announcements and register early.

10. Taguig

Taguig’s Office of the City Veterinarian offers free spay/neuter by appointment.

Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ocv013

To book an appointment, simply complete the online registration form and wait for confirmation. Only one pet per owner per schedule is allowed.

Conclusion

Metro Manila does have real options for free kapon—especially if you’re willing to register early, follow your city’s announcements, and plan around limited slots. If your city doesn’t regularly post a free kapon schedule, you can still ask your city vet about partner missions or consider nearby city programs and reputable low-cost clinics.
