I know the non profit no kill shelters will spay or neuter the animal
before adoption if possible, if not, then you can bring the animal in
at a later time and have them altered for no additional adoption fee.
I believe that our local Humane Society has the same policy. A friend
of mine adopted from there and brought her cat back to be spayed.

When I got our new cat at the shelter I was surprised to learn that the cats
available were injected and wormed, yes, but only the males were neutered.
Females and males were the same price though. Strange isn't it?
