At CSTAR Animal Care, we strive to make basic but crucial veterinary services such as spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, and microchipping available to all in need in order to keep pet and free-roaming cat population numbers down, to protect against dangerous diseases such as rabies, and to increase the number of lost pets reunited with their owners, thereby lowering euthanasia rates in our local shelters. It is our hope, that over time, more veterinarians will embrace low-cost clinics like ours as a resource for those who would not otherwise have enough money to pay for these essential services rather than as competition.

By providing these fundamental services at a reduced price, we also hope to help eliminate the situation many caregivers are faced with every day, where they must decide which vital service they can afford for their pets, if any. We hope the money that caregivers will save on spay/neuter surgery, annual vaccinations, flea treatments, etc. will also make it possible for them to afford annual wellness exams, sick visits, medications, care for injuries, etc. at the full-service veterinary practices when their pets are in need of these services.
