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.

- Current enrolment in the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP)

Cost of our services:
