WELCOME TO VIRGINIA KINCHELOE SPAY & NEUTER CLINIC

We are a high volume, non profit clinic. We receive anywhere between 100 to 300 calls a day. In order to keep costs down and staff busy with clinic tasks, we do not answer our phones. 

We specifically do spay and neuters only to help the ever rising problem of over populated shelters. Spaying and neutering are also for the health of your pet. Backyard breeding and accidental pregnancies introduce animals into homes that may not be safe or no home at all. A host of health problems can arise from pets not being vaccinated so we offer low cost vaccines, to spayed and neutered cats & dog, to help the community keep their fur babies healthy and safe. 

You will contact us via phone or google form. We will get back to you as soon as possible that may be up to 2 weeks, depending on the volume of calls we receive. You can now book online. See the links at the top of the page & be sure to pick the right location. 

When we get back to you to schedule your appointment, you will be required to put down a $25 deposit at that time. Any appointment and each animal will require a deposit. This deposit is non-refundable but will apply to the surgery and or vaccine appointment.

If you cancel or no show, the deposit defaults back to the clinic as a donation. (You can claim this on your taxes as we are a non-profit) If you need to reschedule you can do so one time with no penalty within 48 hours of your scheduled appointment.  

​

You will receive an email with your pre-op instructions. Please read them! This has any and all info you will need to know the day of. Being informed and prepared when you arrive for your appointment will ensure your check in process runs smoothly.

Be prepared to be here for at least 30 to 45 minutes at check in. You will line up outside and we will check you in in the order you arrive so please stand in a single file line. This can be frustrating for some but again please understand we are a high volume clinic and you pay for individual attention at a full service veterinarian.

​

​

I have a stray cat or cats at my house (feral or friendly)

Cats are considered free roaming animals so animal control will not come and pick up the animal unless its sick or hurt. To help keep down the feral cat population you can TNR - Trap Neuter and Release. (See the top menu item for Feral Cats for more info) 

​

Please be aware that all animals will go home the day of surgery. We do not keep animals overnight. If you animal is ready for pick up at an earlier time we will call you and let you know what time to pick up. If you do not arrive to get your animal by 6:00 pm when we close they will go over to the animal shelter and you will have to arrange to pick them up there. We close at 6:00 for cleaning and will not have any medical staff here to care for your pets.

​

*If you require a late pick up there will be a $15 fee for every 30 min past 6:00 pm as staff wants to go home and again we can't finish our work until animals go home.
