Windsor offering spay neuter vouchers for cats

As communities continue to address issues related to pet overpopulation and stray animal populations, voucher programs have emerged as a cost-effective and efficient solution.

These programs, often implemented by animal welfare organizations or municipal governments, aim to increase access to spay/neuter services for pet owners, particularly those facing financial barriers.

The program is going to happen at the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society Veterinary Clinic.

The vouchers are valued at $75 each and will be available Wednesday, March 27, 2024, at 9 a.m.

260 vouchers will be released this year to sterilize cats.

Vouchers can be acquired by calling 311.

Requests received through email, text, 311 Online or the 311 mobile app will not be accepted. No request will be accepted prior to 9 a.m. on March 27, 2024.

Vouchers for owned cats are reserved for low-income families, and a declaration of income will be required.

A maximum of two vouchers per household will be issued where the cats are owned.

For feral cat caregivers, a maximum of two vouchers per household will be issued with no income restrictions. In both cases, the applicant must be over the age of 18.

Applicants are responsible for any cost over the $75 value as noted on the voucher.

For general information, please call 311 (alternate: 519-255-2489).
