Spay Memphis is a non-profit clinic dedicated to preventing pet overpopulation by providing high-quality, affordable spay/neuter services to the public.
IMPORTANT INFO TO KNOW BEFORE SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT:
- 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 April appointments are open, but at this time are fully booked. As we have just started the process of only opening the calendar one month at a time, it will take approximately 2 months before we catch up with appointments and an entire month open at a time. We appreciate your patience. Any spots that become available in April or May will be on the calendar now.
- 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.
- Prices are listed on our website here.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 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 multiple no-shows 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 dog’s weight as accurately as possible for the date you are choosing and choose the correct sex. You will be turned away from your appointment if you enter the wrong sex or if the weight you entered is drastically different when they arrive at their appointment.
