Subsidized Spay Neuter Program for Cats and Dogs
Thanks to the generous support of the Vancouver Hospital Trust Fund, the Kamloops Spay Neuter Clinic now offers subsidized spays and neuters for cats owned by low-income guardians. This program will ensure that more cats get the basic care they need – eligible guardians will pay a portion of the fees and the trust fund covers the remainder.
Please note: If you plan to apply for this program – DO NOT use the “Book Appointment” button on our website or call the clinic.
