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.

Our services are available to pets in the care of local government animal control agencies and private rescue organizations (registered 501(c)(3)s). Shelter and rescue clients must be based in Virginia and file annual custody records to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

Please contact us at 804-368-6232 and/or snip@richmondspca.org for information and instructions for scheduling. Our business hours are Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Cancellation policy: Two business days’ notice is required to cancel a scheduled appointment without incurring a fee. Late cancellations will be charged half the cost of the scheduled procedure.

No-show policy: If the patient is not brought for a scheduled appointment, we will charge the full cost of the sterilization surgery.

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.

* 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.

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.
