Ontario SPCA and Humane Society’s Spay/Neuter Services
Thank you for your interest in the Ontario SPCA’s Spay/Neuter Services.
*NEW PROCESS* – On the first Monday of every month we will be opening bookings for that month at both spay/neuter locations for CATS ONLY.
To make the booking process more streamlined, there will no longer be a waitlist for spay/neuter services. Be sure to visit this page on the first Monday of every month, where a link to our registration page will be posted. The registration forms open at 10 a.m. Spaces will be filled on a first-come basis.
Please note that bookings for dogs are expected to open in the Spring/Summer of 2023.
January registration is now closed. Our next block of appointment times will open on Monday, February 6, 2023 at 10 a.m. with a limited number of surgical appointments for cats at both of our locations. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Additional Services
Vaccines
It is recommended that you have your pet vaccinated at least two weeks prior to your spay/neuter appointment. Animals that have been vaccinated previously should be accompanied by proof of vaccination. Should you be unable to have this done in advance, vaccines can also be given at the time of surgery. We recommend that your pet have the following vaccines: Rabies vaccine (3 year), Feline Leukemia vaccine, FVRCP vaccine and DA2PP vaccine.
*Note: It is a legal requirement and strongly recommended that ALL animals be vaccinated for rabies regardless of whether or not they go outside. If your animal is currently vaccinated for rabies, proof of vaccination should accompany your pet at the time of surgery.
Microchip
$27 provides your pet with a unique, permanent form of identification. All shelters and many vet offices have the ability to read microchips, and your animal would be returned to you safely and quickly should it become lost. This fee includes an offer of 30 days of free pet health insurance. *Insurance offer does not apply to animals owned by rescue/shelter organizations.
E-Collars and Surgical Onesies
We STRONGLY recommend that all animals be deterred from licking their surgical sites through the use of Elizabethan collars (e-collars) or surgical onesies. If your animal does lick, they can open their incision or cause infection, incurring additional veterinary costs.
E-collars can be purchased the morning of surgery for $16. (Note: If you choose to purchase your e-collar from a pet store, please ensure that when pushed back against your pet’s shoulders, the collar extends at least 1″ past his/her nose).
Surgical Onesies can be purchased on the morning of surgery for $31.
Payment
A deposit is due at the time of booking in order to obtain an appointment. Credit card payments can be made over the phone, and debit/Visa-debit/cash payments can be made in person, at our offices. Money orders can also be mailed, made payable to the Ontario SPCA (please include your phone number on the money order).
