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.
READ CAREFULY BEFORE SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT:
- Drop off for all pets on their surgery day is 7:30 – 8:30 am. 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 5:00 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.
- 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 open one month out at a time, at the beginning of the previous month. Currently the online scheduler is open through the end of August. September appointments will open for scheduling the first Tuesday in August, between 9:00 – 9:30 am.
- Spay/neuter appointments require a $10 deposit to schedule. This deposit is applied to your pet’s spay/neuter cost, unless you no-show the appointment.

- If you plan to use grant funding to help with the cost of the surgery, please view all available funding options 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 first. Please note that we will not accept more than 4 appointments for the same date from the same pet owner.
- 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 ($35) 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. If you are requesting grant funding, ask if the grant funding can also cover your bloodwork cost, if needed.
- Have a feral/community cat? Please review our feral/community cat policies by clicking here.
- We no longer see rabbits and pigs as we have redirected our main focus to dogs and cats 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 in a span of 12 months on their account will have their appointments denied.
- If you received approval from another organization to cover your pet’s spay/neuter cost, email us at info@spaymemphis.org as the deposit may be waived for your pet’s appointment.
- Please enter your pet’s weight as accurately as possible for the date you are choosing and choose the correct sex. 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.
