Bide Awhile Animal Shelter is proud to offer a Low Cost Spay & Neuter Program for eligible low-income individuals and students.
Spaying or neutering your cat helps reduce pet overpopulation in our community while providing important health and behavioural benefits for your companion. These routine procedures are typically completed on an outpatient basis, meaning most cats return home the same day.
Eligibility
To qualify for this program, applicants must provide one of the following:
- Proof of income showing a Notice of Assessment of less than $30,000, or
- A valid student ID.
Program Details
Our Low Cost Spay & Neuter Program is offered in partnership with Fall River Animal Hospital, Elmsdale Animal Hospital, and Vetcetera Animal Hospital.
A program fee of $200 is payable to Bide Awhile Animal Shelter at the time of purchasing your certificate. The surgery will be scheduled and take place on a separate day with the chosen clinic.
At this time, the program is only available for cats that are at least 6 months of age.
How to Apply
If you would like to learn more about the program or determine if you qualify, please contact Bide Awhile Animal Shelter at 902-469-9578 during business hours.
