Ohio Alleycat Resource, Spay / Neuter, Cincinnati, Ohio

Services Offered: OAR’s low cost, high volume Spay/Neuter Clinic is based on the Humane Alliance model and its licensed veterinarians sterilized 11,515 cats in 2022 alone. It also serves the community by providing a regular low-cost vaccine clinic to the public.

Community Cat Policies:
Use a humane box trap (Tomahawk, Havahart, or Tru Catch recommended). Traps must be at least 9”x 9” x 26-36”. You can rent traps from OAR for a $70 refundable deposit per trap. Stop by the clinic Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., to borrow up to two traps at a time for an up to two-week period.
One feral or semi-feral cat/kitten per trap—no exceptions.
Bring in up to two cats in traps per household per day.
Cover with a towel (or other fabric) and bring to OAR’s Spay/Neuter Clinic during its community cat admission schedule below. You can also make an appointment.
Have questions about trapping? Here’s a great resource.
Neuter
If you drop off early in the day, it’s possible that the cat will have same-day surgery. Cats dropped off later in the day will likely be scheduled for surgery the following day.
It’s possible that the Spay/Neuter Clinic will reach capacity and stop being able to accept more cats for surgery. Check our community cat admission schedule below to see if we’ve reached our limit for the day.
Pick up your cat the morning after surgery at 7:30 a.m. (Friday surgeries require a same-day pick-up at 2:30 p.m.) Your cat will be ear-tipped, and you will receive instructions about release and care.
Release
Follow the instructions that OAR’s Spay/Neuter Clinic staff give you for the best results.
When your cats are ready, release them back into their established territory, healthier—and with far less chance of a kitten invasion on your property!
