    • Frequently Asked Questions (Click to Expand) 

    • Does OCAS still operate the spay/neuter bus?

      The Orange County Animal Services mobile clinic is no longer in operation. This voucher program is designed to offer similar services as the mobile clinic.

      What does spay/neuter and sterilize mean?

      These words describe a surgery done by veterinarians to prevent pets from having puppies or kittens. Some people call this having your pet “fixed.” Females are spayed. Males are neutered. By spay/neutering your pets, it is one way to help fix pet overpopulation in the Orange County community.

      What does the program cover?

      This program covers the spay/neuter surgery, rabies vaccination and tag, and microchip at a participating clinic or vet’s office. Rabies vaccine and microchip provided if your pet does not have them already.

      Will there be extra fees?

      The cost of the spay/neuter surgery is paid for through a grant from Florida Animal Friend license plate program. However, for our voucher program for Orange County residents, the services are provided by participating private veterinarians. Any additional services or treatments they recommend or provide are not covered through the voucher. Any services or treatments beyond the sterilization is at the owner’s expense and not associated with the program.

      What if I have more than one dog or cat?

      A voucher authorizes the sterilization of two animals, dog or cat, per household per calendar year.

      Will the voucher expire?

      After you receive the voucher you have 90 days to schedule services and 6 months to complete the surgeries. Due to the often busy schedule of a clinic, it is recommended to contact them as soon as possible to schedule the services.

      Can I use this program if I only receive Medicare or Social Security
      Disability?

      Yes, but only if your household income isn’t over 100 percent of
      the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines.

      What if I lose my voucher or it expires before I am able to use it?

      Your voucher will be sent to you via e-mail if you qualify, if you don't receive any emails after completing this application make sure to check your spam/junk folder. If you still can't locate anything email AnimalServices@ocfl.net for assistance. If you have been unable to schedule the service to be completed within 90 days of receiving the voucher then it will no longer be eligible to be redeemed.

      What if my dog or cat is sick when I bring it to the clinic for
      surgery?

      The veterinarian may decide to postpone your surgery due to your pet being sick, pregnant, nursing, in season (heat), or if there are other medical concerns. In the event that the veterinarian postpones your surgery and you voucher is expired, please email animal services with documentation to receive a replacement voucher.

      How old does my pet have to be to get it fixed?

      Most dogs and cats can have spay/neuter surgery as early as
      eight (8) weeks of age. Important: pets can start having unwanted
      babies as early as four (4) months of age! It’s best to “fix” or get
      them spayed/neutered as soon as possible.

      Can I use the voucher program for feral or community cats?

      No, this program is designed for owned animals. There are other programs provided by Orange County Animal Services that address Trap-Neuter-Return and may be a better solution.
