STERILIZATION SERVICES
for shelters, rescues and community cats
for shelters, rescues and community cats
The Richmond SPCA Smoky’s Spay & Neuter Clinic, located at 7088 Mechanicsville Turnpike, opened in 2022. This satellite location provides sterilization services to shelter and rescue organizations and community cat caregivers performing Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR).
We request that all patient communications with our staff come from an authorized representative of the public shelter or private rescue organization that has custody of the animal.
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.
