Grant/Donor Funding

All grant/donor funding is available on a first-come-first-serve basis. Grant funding is for individually owned pets only. This means grants cannot be used by rescue groups, shelters, breeders, etc. or if you are rehoming or adopting out the pet after the appointment. The availability of grants/donor funding may change at any time. No grant/donor funding is guaranteed until the appointment is confirmed and proof is provided. Grant funding must be requested when making the appointment. Appointments are required and can be scheduled by clicking here. Grant funding cannot be used for feral cats, unless otherwise specified. Grant funds cannot be combined – only one grant fund can be used per pet. Spay Memphis cannot approve grant funding for purchased pets or designer breed pets.

Spay Memphis reserves the right to limit the number of pets per pet owner/household that can use grant funding, especially when grant funding is low. Grant funds are limited as they are funding donated to us to cover a portion of the cost & should only be used if you have a genuine need & our already discounted prices are beyond your financial ability.
