The shelter we got our dog from made us agree to having her fixed within a month at a cost of $80-$150 (they gave us a list of vets), and the cats were already fixed and they charged a small fee.
Although this law seems like a good idea, I would rather see the animal stay in a poor house rather than being sent to a shelter where they will be killed if not claimed by someone in a week or two. Maybe what we need is a charity that will help poorer folks with the cost. The shelter folks say they are already overwelmed with discarded pets and only have so much room and resources.
