Spaying and neutering dogs and cats prevents reproduction and not only reduces the homeless pet population, it also creates healthier, safer communities and better behaved pets! Dogs and cats may be safely spayed or neutered once they reach two pounds or two months, whichever is greater. During surgery your pet will be fully anesthetized and will not feel any pain. As with any surgery, there may be some discomfort associated with the procedure post operatively but this is kept to a minimum through the use of pain medications.
Since 2004 we have provided high-volume, targeted free and low-cost spay/neuter services to pets throughout Greater Richmond. Eight years later, we have performed more than 80,000 surgeries in our Smoky's Spay/Neuter Clinic. If you would like to make a donation to support our clinic, please click here.
Accepted forms of payment include: Cash or Credit Card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover). Payment is due at time of service. Please note that there may be additional charges incurred for pets with moderate or serious handling issues.

To humanely and effectively manage feral (unsocialized) cat colonies, the Richmond SPCA offers free spay/neuter surgery, rabies vaccination and Ivomec injection (deworming) for feral cats within our defined free service area, which includes the City of Richmond and the counties of Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover and Henrico. For feral cats outside of the Greater Richmond area, there is a $40 charge per cat of either gender, which includes surgery, rabies vaccination and ivermectin injection (deworming).
If you are interested in doing T-N-R for feral cats through our clinic, please call 804-521-1310.
We rent humane cat traps for the purposes of T-N-R. Please let us know that you need a trap(s) when you make your appointment with our clinic. There is a $50 deposit to be paid at the time of rental, which is returned to you when the trap is returned in working order, within 3 months of the trap rental. Trap reservations are required as we have a limited supply available. Please note that the sterilized and vaccinated feral cats will need to be returned to their current habitat (where you trapped them) to live out their natural lifespan.
The Richmond SPCA offers a 1-year rabies booster vaccine for feral cats who have already been ear tipped (indicating spay/neuter). Feral caretakers residing within our service area may bring a trapped, ear tipped cat to our clinic between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday, to receive the booster.
