The OCSPCA Spay Neuter Campaign

The Orange County SPCA’s Spay/Neuter voucher program addresses the very source of the overpopulation crisis that results in thousands and thousands of pets being euthanized in Orange County shelters every year.

Most of these animals would make a great companion if there were just enough homes. We believe strongly in reducing the pet overpopulation problem and we need the community’s help to do it. Spaying and neutering is high on our list of priorities.

OCSPCA Spay/Neuter Voucher Program

During the past year, the OCSPCA has already issued over 3500 spay/neuter vouchers through its voucher program and sponsored a free spay/neuter clinic day. OCSPCA offers spay/neuter vouchers to low income pet owners. The voucher may cover the entire cost of a spay/neuter procedure or a significant portion of the procedure with the owner contributing an amount they can afford.

Why Spay or Neuter: It is a Community Problem

• Pet overpopulation is the #1 killer of cats and dogs in the US with 10-12 million animals killed annually in shelters!
• In just 7 years, one female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 kittens!
• In just 6 years, one female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 puppies!
• Only 1 of every 9 cats or dogs will find a forever home.
• Unaltered females have a higher rate of developing breast and uterine cancer. Unaltered males have a considerably higher rate of developing prostrate cancer.
• Pets that are not fixed are more likely to stray from home. These animals die painfully from: starvation, from being hit by a vehicle, or from animal fights.
