Spaying and neutering your pets means that you improve their health, save money on vet bills and help reduce pet overpopulation.
Do you need financial help to spay or neuter your pet? The following B.C. communities have low-cost spay/neuter programs available for cats, and on occasion, dogs and rabbits as well.
Not all programs listed are offered by the BC SPCA. Please contact the individual organization or group for details on eligibility, cost and availability.

- Victoria: The Victoria BC SPCA and the veterinarians who support this program are dedicated to providing accessible spay and neuter options. With the program growing in need, wait times for surgery appointments are approximately six months long. To relieve vets during this busy time, we will be putting this program on pause temporarily as we look to increase the number of vet clinics involved. Please check back regularly for updates. We hope to reopen applications in November with more vets and shorter wait times. Thank you for understanding. Contact BC SPCA Victoria victoria@spca.bc.ca or (250) 388-7722 with questions.
