Spay & Neuter Program
Spay/Neuter Voucher Program for Cats
The Municipality of Leamington in partnership with veterinary hospitals/clinics, is pleased to carry forward its Cat Spay and Neuter Voucher Program for 2023. Please note that this program is only available to residents of the Municipality of Leamington.
In an effort to reduce the number of homeless cats in the Municipality, vouchers will be issued to spay and neuter cats. The Municipality of Leamington will provide vouchers to qualifying residents. Vouchers will be issued on a first come first serve basis.
Vouchers for owned cats are reserved for low-income families. Documentation confirming household income will be required. A maximum of three (3) vouchers per household will be issued where the cats are owned.
For feral cat caregivers, a maximum of three (3) vouchers per household will be issued to Leamington residents, with no income restrictions.
For program details including eligibility criteria, please review the Spay/Neuter Voucher Program for Cats Questions and Answers.
The 2023 Cat Spay Neuter Voucher Program is now open.

A property owner or occupier in urban Leamington is permitted to trap any cat found trespassing on its property in a humane, portable container that can be provided to you by the Municipality upon request. The cat must be kept safe by providing adequate food, water, and shelter appropriate to the weather conditions for the cat. The Municipality of Leamington has traps available for use. A $50.00 deposit is required and the cages may be rented for $5.00 per day.
Leamington residents also have the option of dropping off a stray cat at the Windsor-Essex Humane Society in Windsor for a fee of $30.00. |

Community cats, also called feral cats, are members of the domestic cat species just like pet cats but are usually not socialized to people and therefore are not adoptable. Like all animals, feral cats make their home where they find shelter and food, often in close proximity to people. We understand that not everyone enjoys having cats in their yards and these simple tips may help you divert feral cats away from certain areas.
