Low-cost Spay/Neuter

Did you know that just one unaltered female cat and her offspring could produce 420,000 cats in only seven years? Did you know that in six years, a female dog and her offspring could produce 67,000 puppies?

To help reduce pet overpopulation in our community, Kitsap Humane Society spays and neuters thousands of dogs and cats in Kitsap and Mason counties every year. We do this through:

  • Low-cost spay/neuter services for owned pets
  • Spay/neuter services for Community Cats
  • Last Litter program for owned mother cats and dogs

Last Litter Program

Has your pet had a new litter of puppies or kittens in Kitsap or Mason counties? Make it their last litter!

Kitsap Humane Society works to reduce pet overpopulation, help prevent unplanned litters, and ensure that every animal in our community has a home. Through the Last Litter program, KHS offers FREE spay surgery for any female dog or cat whose offspring (puppies or kittens) is surrendered to the shelter for our adoption program! How it works:

  • Work with our Admissions staff to schedule a surrender appointment for your pet’s offspring.
  • Puppies and kittens must be weaned and of adoption age (at least 8-10 weeks old).
  • There is no surrender fee for puppies or kittens.
  • When you bring the babies in for surrender, you will be provided with a voucher for a free spay surgery for your pet through our Low-Cost Spay/Neuter program.
  • Schedule your pet for spay surgery through our online Spay/Neuter scheduling website (and provide the voucher at time of payment), or if your mother pet is a cat, you can use your free voucher at our walk-in Cat Fix Day on the last Tuesday of every month (no appointment needed).
  • KHS will get your pet’s babies vaccinated, treated for worms and fleas, spay/neutered, microchipped, and will find them great homes!
  • The Last Litter program is open to residents of Kitsap and Mason counties.

What is a Community Cat?

“Community Cat” is an umbrella definition that includes any un-owned cats. Community cats may be “feral” (unsocialized) or friendly, may have been born into the wild, or may be lost or abandoned pet cats that have been living outside.

Compassionate neighbors care for many community cats, and provide food, water, and even outdoor shelter. Other cats thrive in our temperate climate without any human intervention.

Whatever a cat’s individual circumstances, the term “community cat” reflects the reality that for these cats, “home” is within the community rather than in an individual household.

Kitsap Humane Society believes that community cats should be kept out of the shelter. We promote Trap/Neuter/ Return (TNR), which has proven to be the most effective, humane method of reducing community cat populations. Through TNR, community cats are humanely trapped, vaccinated, spayed/neutered, ear-tipped, and returned to their outdoor home to live out their lives.
