Licensing and Applications

Cat Spay or Neuter Program

This program is to help control the feral cat population.  A feral cat is an outdoor stray cat that does not have an owner.  Each year, Council sets aside money for residents to offset the cost of spay or neuter surgery for feral cats.  The surgery is performed by participating veterinary clinics.

You can apply to this program if you are:

  • A Kingsville resident;
  • Over 18 years old; and,
  • Can trap the cat and bring it to an animal clinic.

Each voucher is worth $75.00 and any additional costs are your responsibility.  Vouchers are issued on a first come, first serve basis and can receive a maximum of three (3).  Vouchers are non-transferrable and expire after 90 days. They may be redeemed at any participating veterinary clinic (list to be provided upon successful application).  As part of the surgery, the Town requires “ear tipping” to identify feral cats in the community. 

Vouchers for owned cats are reserved for qualified families. A declaration of income will be required. A maximum of 3 vouchers per household will be issued where the cats are owned.

Fill out the Spay or Neuter and Eartipping Voucher for Feral Cats Application

Dog Licensing

**NEW Lifetime Dog Licensing**

Effective January 1, 2024, the Town of Kingsville has moved to a lifetime dog-licensing program. These new tags are identified as silver with the Town logo and a four-digit number and will remain with your dog for his/her lifetime.

In 2023, the Town introduced permanent tags. If you purchased a tag in 2023, you no longer need to renew your tag each year.

All dogs in the Town of Kingsville must have a valid dog tag. Failure to purchase a licence could result in a fine.

Dog Tag Fees:

  • $75.00 One-time fee per dog
  • $10.00 Replacement tag

This fee applies to:

  • Newly acquired dogs
  • New residents to the Town of Kingsville
  • Transfer of dog ownership within the municipality

Buy a dog tag online or at the Municipal Office, 2021 Division Rd N, Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.

Maximum 3 dogs per property.

With some exceptions, the Dog Owners' Liability Act bans the owning, breeding, transferring, importing or abandoning of pit bulls. Contact us for further information on registering Pit Bull dogs. 

Licensing is an important part of being a responsible pet owner.  Not only does it help reunite an owner to a lost pet but helps provide food and shelter to lost animals.  If you find a lost or injured dog contact Animal Control at 519-796-3013.

Kennel Permit
If you are an owner of a kennel of dogs that are registered or eligible for registration with an association incorporated under the Animal Pedigree Act (Canada), you can apply if your property is in an agricultural area.  Dog breeders and boarding kennels must apply for a kennel licence every year before March 31st. The cost of a kennel permit is $110.
