What is the OHS Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic?

The OHS Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic is a mobile veterinary spay/neuter clinic that provides subsidized feline spay/neuter surgeries for low-income pet owners in various neighbourhoods throughout Ottawa.

Our main goal is to address the problem of cat overpopulation in Ottawa. A second goal is to help preserve the human-animal bond by providing a service to help pets stay with their owners, rather than be surrendered to the OHS.

  • Receive the Guaranteed Income Supplement (for seniors)
  • Current enrolment in the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP)
  • Annual Income below $30,000 (approximately $15 per hour; Notice of Assessment required)
  • Letter or referral from a social worker, social service agency, or qualified City of Ottawa employee

Cats must be at least 4 months of age and no older than 8 years of age, and in good general health.


Cost of our services:

We provide subsidized spay/neuter surgeries for $30 per cat. We also provide optional microchipping for $20 per cat, as well as complimentary nail trimming and ear cleaning (if needed).

Living with an unsterilized cat can present some challenges. To assist in dealing with potential behaviours your pet may displaying because of not being spayed/neutered, info sheets have been created to help you care for your cat.
