Notes:
Please realize that, although there appear to be many listings for spay/neuter assistance, there is still a great need for accessible and affordable (free or very low-cost) spay/neuter. Many of the listed resources have waiting lists and are inundated with requests; many areas do not have lower-cost spay/neuter available. Publicly funded spay/neuter is needed, the existing resources are not adequate to make a significant impact on the problem.
Learn more about companion animal homelessness, pet overpopulation, and killing of shelter animals.
Please remember -- neuter or spay assistance is for people in financial need or for animals who would not otherwise be sterilized. It is provided as a community service to help people as well as improve and save animal lives.
Although each spay/neuter counts, spay/neuter programs of most impact are targeted, accessible, high-volume, free or truly low-cost, AND proactive! Effective programs reach at-risk animals that would not otherwise get sterilized. Only a few Oregon programs approach or meet this criteria. If planning a spay/neuter project, please assess community needs, review and advise existing programs so that efforts are not duplicated.
Disclaimer: Neuter/spay programs operate with differing guidelines. Some work only with the pets of people who have low incomes, others serve only pet cats or only feral (untamed, free roaming) cats - without regard to the income level of the owner or caretaker, and others serve all kinds of people and pets. Please contact the program for current details and criteria.
If you obtain updated information on a listed program or know about other low cost or free spay/neuter programs, please contact me with the information so this resource remains timely and accurate. Listings are updated at least monthly.
Inclusion of a program or resource on this webpage does not signify recommendation or endorsement of a program or policy.
