FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/b><\/p>\n

Ontario SPCA rolls out Neuter Scooter in Durham Region to help reduce pet overpopulation<\/b><\/p>\n

Whitby, ON (May 2, 2025) \u2013 The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society\u2019s Neuter Scooter rolled into Durham Region yesterday, providing accessible spay\/neuter services to help address pet overpopulation in the community.<\/p>\n

On May 1, the Neuter Scooter transported 18 pre-booked cats from Durham Region to a partnering high-quality, high-volume spay\/neuter clinic in Trenton, preventing close to an estimated 1,000 potentially unwanted offspring. After their surgeries, the cats were returned to their families later that same day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were thrilled to bring the Neuter Scooter to Durham Region and help reduce barriers to accessing vital spay and neuter services,\u201d says Kayla Montes, Community Outreach Coordinator with the Humane Society of Durham Region, which is one of 12 Ontario SPCA animal centres across the province. \u201cBy preventing unplanned litters, we\u2019re supporting the health of animals and our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Neuter Scooter initiative was first piloted in 2024 to make spay\/neuter services more accessible.\u00a0Last year it made 36 trips to communities around the province, making 761 spay\/neuter surgeries possible for cats, and preventing more than an estimated 43,000 potentially unwanted offspring.<\/p>\n
