About Our Clinic
The Richmond SPCA conducts spay and neuter surgeries for free or at low cost in our on-site Smoky’s Spay/Neuter Clinic. In 2007, the third year of our three-year Spay/Neuter Campaign, we performed more than 11,000 surgeries. Our new long range plan includes a goal to continue surgeries at our current or higher levels over the next 3 to 5 years.

- VACCINATIONS: While our clinic offers vaccinations to spay/neuter patients on the day of surgery, we are not a full-service vet clinic. Vaccinations are available only at the time of spay/neuter surgery. Please see your regular veterinarian for follow-up visits.

Feral Cat Trap-Neuter-Return
To prevent feral (not tame) cat colonies from continuing to multiply, the Richmond SPCA offers free spay/neuter surgeries and rabies shots for feral cats. Caregivers should call 804-521-1300 to make an appointment.
We rent humane cat traps for this purpose. 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 as they cannot be adopted into homes.
