In general, what does the Spay Neuter Ordinance No. 6086 mean?
  • All dogs and cats over the age of six months must be either spayed or neutered.

  • Your veterinarian will document proof of spaying / neutering on your pet’s rabies vaccination certificate, although your vet may choose to furnish other proof.

  • A Whelping Permit is required within ten days of the birth of each litter of puppies or kittens. Female dogs and cats are limited to one litter per year.

There are exceptions for which your dog or cat may be exempt from this requirement. For example, you can purchase an Intact Permit to exempt your dog or cat.
