Low Cost Spay/Neuter Program

 

Program Details

Post-Surgery

Wait till 8

The Hamilton/Burlington SPCA (HBSPCA) provides low cost, high quality spay/neuter surgeries for your feline friend.

The Hamilton/Burlington SPCA Community Assistance Spay/Neuter program is provided as a service to low income pet owners for whom cost is a barrier to accessing these services at a regular veterinary clinic.

We are NOT accepting applications for dog surgery.  

Your pet will be provided with high quality care by one of our licensed and skilled veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians.  Our supplies and medications are the same as those available at any other veterinary hospital. All animals are provided with long lasting pain medication that’s administered during surgery , and have the same procedure as they would at a regular hospital.

We are able to keep our prices as low as we do for several reasons:

  • Our clinic is a high quality/high volume clinic – whereas many clinics will do only a few surgeries a day we focus only on spay and neuter services
  • Our organization is a registered charity, which means we save on some taxes that would have to be paid by a private business and are able to pass those savings along to you.
  • Our clinic is non-profit as opposed to a business, where owners rightly expect to make a profit for their work in the business.

Please read this information below carefully before booking an appointment for your pet. Be sure to check eligibility criteria.

Services & Eligibility

The HBSPCA Companion Animal Hospital provides spay/neuter surgery for healthy cats on an appointment basis.  Surgery happens at our onsite Companion Animal Hospital. Pet owners pre-register for the procedure, pre pay, and bring their pet to the shelter for a pre scheduled  drop off and pick up time

In order for your pet to be eligible for surgery they must meet the following criteria:

  • Pets must be between four months and six years of age.
  • Pets must not be coughing or sneezing.
  • Pregnant cats can be spayed, but the pregnancy will be terminated at the time of surgery.
  • We strongly recommend that your animal is vaccinated prior to surgery to prevent them contracting a contagious disease.
