Spay Memphis is a non-profit clinic dedicated to preventing pet overpopulation by providing high-quality, affordable spay/neuter services to the public.
Our services are ONLY for pet owners who cannot afford to have their pet spayed/neutered at a full service veterinary clinic. If this does not apply to you, please do not schedule an appointment as appointments are very limited.
Appointments can only be scheduled below. We cannot schedule appointments by phone. If you cannot schedule online, you can come in the clinic to schedule in person at our front desk on an IPad. Front desk hours are only guaranteed Tuesday – Friday from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm.
READ CAREFULY BEFORE SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT:
- Drop off for all pets on their surgery date is 7:30 – 8:30 am. Pick-up is the same afternoon and varies by species. Pick-up for dogs is at 3:00 pm, pick up for domestic cats is at 4:00 pm, and pick up for feral cats is at 4:30 pm. All pets have until 4:45 pm, at the latest, to be picked up after surgery. If you cannot drop off or pick up in these times mentioned, please do not schedule an appointment with our clinic. We do not offer boarding.
- Due to the large demand for affordable spay/neuter surgeries, we do book pretty far in advance and in some cases, have no appointments open at all. The online scheduler shows all that is available. Please feel free to keep checking back for openings. Appointments on the online scheduler open exactly 2 months out. This means that appointments open at 9:00 am most* mornings to stay within that 2 month window. *Please note- Since we are open Tuesday – Friday only so if exactly 2 months out isn’t an open clinic day, none will open on that date.
- Spay/neuter appointments require a $10 deposit to schedule. This deposit is applied to your pet’s spay/neuter cost.
- A dog spay/neuter is $100. A cat spay/neuter is $60. All prices are listed by clicking here.
- Pets must be at least 8 weeks old for spay/neuter surgery and kittens must weight at least 2 lbs.
- Grant funding MAY be available to help with the cost of the surgery, please view all available funding options and carefully read all requirements before requesting an appointment by clicking here.
- If you have a rescue or TNR account at our clinic and want to schedule an appointment, you must enter your rescue or TNR group name as the pet owner name so we can merge them. Otherwise, the appointment will not go onto your rescue/TNR account and the appointment cannot be billed to the rescue/TNR account.
- Only one pet can be scheduled at a time. If you are trying to schedule multiple pets, you must request an appointment for each of them. If you would like them on the same date, we recommend scheduling any female pets and/or larger dogs first because these spots fill faster. Please note that we will not accept more than TWO appointments for the same date from the same pet owner. Each pet must also have their own individual name. Our system will not accept the exact same pet name under a pet owner’s account.
- While we do not require your pet be up-to-date on vaccines to use our spay/neuter services, it is highly recommended.
- Pets age 7 years and above are required to have pre-op bloodwork ($45) the morning of surgery to ensure they are safe to undergo anesthesia. This age may vary depending on breed and species – for example, a 6 year-old large breed dog may be required to have the pre-op bloodwork, if our veterinarian feels it is necessary.
- Have a feral/community cat? Please review our feral/community cat policies by clicking here.
- We see dogs, domestic cats and feral/community cats (scheduled as lion) only.
- Pet owners who have an unpaid balance on their account must pay that balance before scheduling or appointment will be denied.
- Pet owners with 3 or more no-shows or last minute cancellations on their account will have their online appointments denied and full (nonrefundable) prepayment of surgery will be required to schedule. Pet owners will 5 or more-shows or last minute cancellations on their account will no longer be allowed to use our clinic.
- You must know your pet’s information! This includes weight, sex, and breed, as those fields are required. You must enter your pet’s weight as accurately as possible for the date you are choosing and choose the correct sex. If you do not know your pet’s weight, most pet stores have a scale where your pet can be weighed at no cost. You will have to reschedule (and lose your deposit) if you show to your appointment and the pet you bring is a different sex or the weight is drastically different. Weight accuracy only applies to dogs. If you are unsure of your pet’s weight, you can upload a photo or records from your last visit. Currently, we cannot schedule female dogs weighing more than 80 lbs. except on rare occasions.
