They're a nonprofit dedicated to helping more pets get spayed and neutered while keeping our furry friends healthy and safe; which also means wallet-friendly vaccine prices! (Seriously, thank you!!!)

Staff is amazing and friendly. I called and asked for help after my dog got spayed cause she was scratching near her incision and they gave me ointment to help. Very easy to communicate with, definitely recommend. read more

This is my first review, but I've been taking my pets here for a few years now. I got there by 10AM and was out before 11:30AM. The two girls checking in the pets were efficient, patient, and very friendly. The girl who took my Bella inside while I waited outside was so sweet. She even carried my Bella since she was a bit scared and a baby. Services took only but a couple of minutes. Thank you, Critters without litters read more

LUPE!!! Thank you for your patience with Penee! Also, the guy who checked us in. Sorry I didn't get his name. With all the services I had paid you were quick and helpful! I'm always here and have always be happy with their services!! read more

I had my Queensland neutered and my pug spayed here over the past couple of years. The check in process is a little chaotic but the prices make up for it. It took me about 45 minutes to an hour to check in both times, so be sure to arrive early and do your paperwork online to save time! Pick up is a little more smooth because there aren't a hundred dogs standing around at the same time barking at each other! One thing you should be aware of is that flat faced dogs cost more, but they didn't tell me that at any point during the scheduling and check in process. I only learned about this fee after I paid the original fee and they took my Queenie to the back room. I had to pay the additional $20 at pick up. The staff is so friendly and helpful and seem to really love animals! I wouldn't hesitate about leaving my dogs here because everyone is really alert and attentive. I would recommend coming here to spay/neuter your pets and to get vaccines and boosters! read more

I recommend. All the vet appointments at all the local vets are booked up & hard to get in but w/ Critters Without Litters at least you can take your pet to get AFFORDABLE vaccinations with no office visit fee. You will have to stand outside in a line but if it's hot they do have outdoor misters to keep cool while you wait your turn. The line goes pretty fast so it's not bad at all. I've gone here with all of my pets. read more

Smooth and easy check-in and out and loving and caring staff. Also checked in with a phone call on how my fur baby was doing. read more

I bring all my dogs here for their vaccines and just got one spayed with them. They provide such a valuable service for such great prices. Thank you for what you do. Highly recommend! read more

I'm rating in the middle for these reasons. I came with pet for a vax 2 days ago and the window where they take pet information and payment had only one person! Today I came back earlier in the day and there are 3 people making the long line much quicker in this Bakersfield summer heat! It's so imperative that a daily wash down of the concrete sidewalk we wait on for all the dog poo and pee puddles. They do provide misters and a couple fans to cool us while we are in line so that is a good plus. Cleanliness is sorely lacking and they only opened a few minutes before we got here so this represents days of business dog mess and the smell is pretty horrific which attracts flies as well. You must have pets in a leash/harness or in a kennel and they recommend a muzzle for barking dogs. I witnessed one woman get turned away because her feline was too angry to be handled. Come early, they take walk ups at 10 however at 8:30 am there is already a long line. It would be nice if they made more payment stations available to streamline the process. Maybe a website to streamline payment where you can pay in advance? read more

They are kind, reasonably priced, and genuinely care for your pet. I would recommend to anyone.

Amazing place to take your fur baby. They took care of four kittens that I rescued. All four vaccines and two spays because the other two appointments were too far out. read more

They are a HUGE resource in this community and I have the highest respect for them. I have used their services and they have gone beyond.

Kind and friendly staff makes the process of getting vaccines super simple compared to my other vet experiences definitely recommend this place (: read more

great services but it is impossible to get a appointment within a month or two. So it is hard to get in if you are in need of something immediately read more

Pretty good and friendly place Definitely seen a lot of nice people around the vet answered my questions good and all my concerns with my new GSP puppy read more

Very organized and dedicated to reducing the feral cat overpopulation in our area through their trap - neuter - return (TNR) program. I can't recommend them highly enough! read more

One of the best options for affordable spay neuter and free trap n release fixing for feral or stray cats

Very late post. I took my chi for her snip snip. They were nice and gentle with her. She got her fixed few years ago 8/12/21. She healed very well. read more

Regular services are fine. Cutting off part of an animals ear for no medical reason is not! If a cat is chipped, there is no excuse to cut off a part of their ear unless it is medically necessary. I do not recommend a vet that does this. Go somewhere where they understand this is an unnecessary service. read more

If they do receive county money to perform these services they need to change their scheduling. It's impossible to schedule an appt. They are always booked. They want you to check daily. I've been checking daily for over a month. read more

I took my puppy to get her last two vaccines at there vaccination clinic from the minute that I checked in they were questioning me They did not update my information. They asked me multiple times how long I've had the dog and I told him I've had the dog since she was six weeks old. They did not believe me. When they took my pet for me to take her to get her vaccines, they did not ask me if they could scan her for a microchip because of their own opinion. I had to literally email them multiple times to get my vet records for my pet. I had to email the manager to clear up all the confusion to get my pets records. They only literally asked me and my husband how long we had had the pet and if we had it for more than two weeks, they did not ask anybody else that question. read more

They are such a great service! They offer very reasonable prices! Although, there are lots of people, the lines move fairly quickly! They are really nice and friendly! read more

They were so helpful & the staff was extremely kind. I felt welcome & comfortable. They fixed my cat at an extremely reasonable price as well as microchipping him & giving him a flea treatment & a amoxicillin shot because his foot was hurt. Absolutely adored the staff & the girl w the pink eyelash extensions was so sweet. I would definitely recommend this place & I would trust my baby coming back here 1000x you could honestly tell that the staff genuinely cared for him. The vet was so kind & informative as well! Thank you for all that you guys do read more

Critters without Litters - My kitty waiting to get spayed! - Pet Services Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Critters without litters is a wonderful non profit organization founded by people who care about animals. Three days ago I took my 9 month old puppy to have her spayed. It's a very organized place. You show up at 7am and get in a line with mostly people that did not have the dogs with them. Some people did bring their dogs with them. My dog was sitting with my husband in the car. You fill out a form and then you get a number. You eventually end up inside and at that point you bring your pet inside with you to wait. They call your number and you have to have proof of rabies vaccination and you pay the bill and decide if you want to buy pain medications. After paying you sit down again until your number is called when they take your pet back. We were number 16 and we were told she would be picked up between 1:30 and 4:30. I got the call to pick her up at 1:30. They were all so kind and caring and it was a great experience. Today the vet emailed me to check on her condition. I am including a photo of her surgery site. They put a tattoo on the site that shows she has been spayed. I had been unable to get her into my regular vet so I had picked Critters without litters. My wait time was three months. They were around $120 and my vet was around $450. I highly recommend this business. read more

I appreciate the contribution this group is making in addressing the population explosion of feral and community cats in the community. It's unfortunate that the demand for the services far exceeds the constructs of time, supply, and people power. Impossible to book unless you have the time to check for cancellations . Thank you for making a difference. read more

I had heard about this place from a former coworker but I finally made my way in. It is such a quick and easy process and the prices are Great! I arrived and waited in line no more than 15 minutes met some awesome people in line. I was handed a clipboard and filled out the form, just a few questions not too much. Once you arrive to the end the process is easy, basically you pay for your services all at the the time. They ask you to go sit or stand by another door and they call out your number and they come out and take your animal and ask a few questions like name and boy or girl . Friendly young ladies .... Wait a few minutes and they bring them out right away . Give you basic information on how they did and what they got and if you have any questions they answer you right their and then. Basically Great service and highly recommend this place to anyone out here in Kern County. Great Prices Great Customer Service Thank you guys for your awesome services read more

It took me a while to get my neighborhood cat in but it was worth the wait. When I first arrived on my appointment date I thought wow I may be here a while with all the pets that were checking-in. I was there maybe a half hour so not bad at all. Everyone there was professional and helpful. I was impressed how everything was so streamlined. I picked up my cat in the afternoon and the vet even came out and talked to me about her for a bit. She gave me some pain meds for her free of change which was nice. Then they called me a few days later to check on her progress. That was a really nice follow-up. I would highly recommend Critters Without Litters. read more

Critters without Litters - GiGi after her first Vaccinations - Pet Services Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Worthy cause! Picked up a cat trap, 'rented' for 2 weeks. When trap is returned on time so is your money or you can donate your rental fee to Critters without Litters. They are very busy with their vaccination and spay/neuter clinics. Check out their website for more information - especially the feral cat program. read more

I read reviews and was skeptical but I've also had friends bring their pets here... everyone's reviews and experiences are different so I know not to go base on others experience. We took our pup here to get neutered and chipped and the staff did an awesome job from check in to checking out the following day and gave helpful instructions. it's been a month now and my pup is doing well read more

All I can say they took real good care of my 2 year old male pug it took about a month to get him in there but... Worth the wait I can see why they are so busy I will take all my dogs there I highly recommend them for all your pet needs read more

Had my Siberian Husky neutered here and couldn't have had a better experience! They are careful with their pandemic procedures and help you with everything you need every step of the way, offering microchipping and vaccinations at very reasonable prices. Drop off and pick up was easy, which is saying something since my dog is a nut job, and they even called me same day to pick him up! When I got him they were very thorough about explaining the aftercare and medication that they provided, as well as giving him a cute cone to go home with. If you are getting your pet spayed and neutered here, don't forget to call Animal Control and get a voucher for $40 off the surgery! The voucher definitely helps in these times! read more

When I called regarding the difficulty to schedule a spay/neuter for feral cats, I was told they don't do that anymore.......despite continued funding from the county for this program. read more

Gave my GSD all his shots here. Fast and professional service. I recommend for all your fur babies. And cheap prices for everything.

Took my 8 month old cat to get spayed. The whole surgery went like it should have and the people that day were nice. A week later (I feel like a terrible cat mom for noticing this late but I also have a baby that is my priority) she has gotten not only tapeworm from this place but fleas!!! She's an indoor cat and that's the only place we have taken her since. She is so uncomfortable and being that she is very affectionate kitty, we are having to keep her away from my son which is heartbreaking with knowing they are best friends. Hence the 1 star review. ***So as a warning if you guys are wanting to go get your animal fixed for cheap, this might be a consequence*** I also called today and all I got told was a sorry and they only treat fleas, but I did that myself with store bought products.... read more
