Animal sterilization offered free of charge to low-income households

People with low incomes can have their dogs and cats sterilized free of charge through the animal sterilization program.

Current

Two animals per household

An eligible guardian can have a maximum of two animals per household sterilized free of charge. This service includes basic vaccinations and deworming. If the animal is not microchipped, a microchip will be implanted during sterilization at a cost of $16.

Sterilization and microchipping of cats and dogs is mandatory within Montréal city limits.

If you do not hold a permit for your cat or dog, you must get one online, by mail, or in person by going to an Accès Montréal office.
