"500 plus for dog and cat" is not a government program, it's a self-government initiative. In order to receive funding, you must live in a municipality that implements them and meet circumstantial conditions. They may vary depending on the location, but there is 1 constant rule. The money is paid to selected veterinary facilities for treatments, not to the hands of the owner.

500 plus for dog and cat. Here's who can apply for funding.
The municipalities aid pay for treatments specified as sterilization, castration or chipping. The name "500 plus" came from the fact that backing frequently oscillates around this amount, covering costs. The main nonsubjective of the programme is to reduce animal homelessness. It functions in specified cities as Lublin, Wrocław, Poznań, Warsaw, Kraków and Katowice. These are the conditions that may be required by the municipality:
the applicant must be a resident of the municipality concerned,
in certain places it is required that the animal is at least 6 months old,
Whereas it is essential to supply evidence of current vaccinations, in peculiar against rabies,
in the case of castration and sterilisation operations, the animals should be chipped,
a paper confirming the right to an animal, e.g. a wellness book, may be required,
consent to treatment and qualification for general anaesthesia is required,
an application for backing must be submitted to the applicable veterinary office or office.

PLN 200), but the full value of the treatments, which are supported, oscillates around the amount of PLN 500. any local governments offer full coverage of sterilisation, castration and chipping costs, while others finance only part of these expenses.
