Mobile Spay/Neuter Services

Spay/Neuter Services for Ottawa's Cats

We are offering spay/neuter services for income-qualified cat owners in Ottawa on a limited basis. All appointments take place at the Ottawa Humane Society on 245 West Hunt Club Road. Please read through all information below carefully before requesting an appointment.

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 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.


Qualifying for our services:

In order to qualify for services from the OHS Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic, clients must live within the City of Ottawa boundaries and meet one or more of the following requirements:

  • Enrolment in ODSP or Ontario Works
  • Enrolment in the Resettlement Assistance Program
  • Receive the Guaranteed Income Supplement (for seniors)
  • Annual income below $35,000 (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 services for $100 per cat. This price includes a microchip if you are interested in getting one for your cat. We also provide complimentary nail trimming and ear cleaning (if needed).


About our clinics:

Clients arrive with their cats at 8 a.m. for registration and arrive to pick up their cats at 3 p.m. that same day!


Request an Appointment

Once we confirm your appointment, you will receive an email with all the instructions you will need to prepare for the surgery. Clients may request an appointment for up to two cats per household.

Appointments are happening at the Ottawa Humane Society Animal Clinic located at 245 West Hunt Club Rd.

Spay/Neuter Stand-By Appointments:

We are now offering a limited number of spay/neuter stand-by appointments. To be eligible, you must submit an appointment request.

For a stand-by appointment, you’ll need to arrive between 8 and 8:15 a.m. with your cat ready for surgery. After we’ve admitted all booked appointments, we’ll let you know if there’s space available for your cat that day.

Please note: There’s no guarantee that your cat will have surgery that day. Stand-by appointments are prioritized on a first-come, first-served basis and availability is determined on the morning of the surgery.

Request an Appointment

We ask for your patience at this time, as appointments are limited in number. If you do not find any availability, it means all appointments are full.

Please check this page often for program updates and new appointment availability.

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.
