Low-cost Spay/Neuter

Spay/Neuter for Owned Cats and Dogs

Kitsap Humane Society offers low-cost spay/neuter surgery for cats and dogs to Kitsap County pet owners (and some Mason County pet owners) that meet our annual income guidelines.

Surgeries are performed on weekdays, by appointment only, and must be scheduled online. Click here for the Surgery Scheduler.

Low-cost Spay/Neuter Deposit

A small deposit will be required when you make an appointment to reserve your pet’s surgery ($15 for cats, $30 for dogs).  Your deposit will be deducted from your balance due on the day of surgery. If you have a voucher for the surgery, your deposit will be refunded when you present your voucher on the day of surgery.

Cancellations – If you need to cancel your pet’s appointment, please notify us no later than 24 hours before the surgery date and your deposit will be refunded.  Late cancellations or no-shows will forfeit their deposit.
