income qualifications & appointment pricing

Minn-Kota PAAWS is a high-volume, high-quality, low-cost spay/neuter clinic located in Fargo, North Dakota. We believe that access to veterinary care is a critical issue—one that deserves greater attention and compassionate solutions. Our mission is rooted in the belief that caring for pets means caring for the people who love them, too.


We serve individuals and families who face financial or logistical barriers to accessing full-service veterinary care. Eligibility for services includes:


  • Annual income under $75,000 for families
     
  • Under $68,365 for single individuals with dependents
     
  • Under $36,450 for single individuals
     
  • Participation in needs-based government assistance programs (SSDI, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.)
     
  • You are the caretaker of free-roaming, feral, barn, or community cats
     
  • You are unable to afford full-service veterinary care due to financial hardship
     

By reducing barriers to essential care, we’re helping to create a healthier, more compassionate community—one pet and one person at a time.
