Spay Memphis is a non-profit clinic dedicated to preventing pet overpopulation by providing high-quality, affordable spay/neuter services to the public.

Please do NOT make feral cat appointments online as they do not need an appointment. Feral cats may be brought in Tuesday – Thursday between 7:30-8:30 am. They must be in a live, humane trap. Please review our feral cat policies here.

Schedule Online

To schedule your pet’s appointment by phone, please call 901-324-3202 during our regular business hours: Tuesday – Friday, 7:30 am – 5:00 pm.

We have cardboard carriers available for $5 if needed. Kennels or crates are highly encouraged for pigs.
