Smoky’s Spay & Neuter Clinic is not a full-service veterinary hospital. We provide spay and neuter surgeries as well as limited additional services on the day of the sterilization procedure.

Please contact us at 804-368-6232 and/or snip@richmondspca.org for information and instructions for scheduling. Our services are available to pets in the care of local government animal control agencies and private rescue organizations (registered 501(c)(3)s).

No-show policy: If you do not keep an appointment that you scheduled, we will charge the full cost of the sterilization surgery. To avoid this charge, please cancel your appointment at least 24 business hours in advance of the scheduled  appointment. Our business hours are Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Each surgery fee covers the sterilization and post-operative pain injection. Oral medication will be sent home with the patient at the discretion of the veterinarian.

If you are concerned that one of the pets in your care is pregnant, please email us at snip@richmondspca.org for assistance and more information.

These prices are effective starting November 15, 2022.

* While supplies last, a generous donation is providing microchips for all pets in the care of government shelters and private rescue organizations at the time of sterilization at no charge.
** Nail trims may not be needed and will be performed for cats at the discretion of the medical team.

Please visit the Community Cat page for free TNVR services provided to unowned, free-roaming community cats. Additional services are available at a low cost.
