you and your pet are in the right place
Every visit to IndyHumane’s Downtown Spay & Neuter Clinic saves lives, starting with the one curled up at your feet. Our licensed veterinarians provide the same high-quality surgery and pain control you’d expect at a private clinic, but at a price that keeps pet care within reach. When you book with us, you’re not just helping your own companion — you’re opening kennel space for another animal in need.
why choose indyhumane?

No surprise add-ons — your $70 deposit when booking counts toward the final bill.
comfort first
Every pet goes home with pain relief and an e-collar at no extra charge.

Drop off in the morning, pick up in the afternoon.
impact that ripples
Your fee funds lifesaving shelter work across Central Indiana.
how to schedule - it's easy
Pets must be a minimum of 2 months old and 2 lbs. for surgery. We do not have a maximum weight limit.
step 1.
pick a date
Pick a date in our online calendar. New spots open weekly.
step 2.
pay the $70 deposit (one per pet)
It’s credited toward surgery — never an extra fee. Deposits are made online using credit/debit card only (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express). If using Care Credit to cover your surgery, you must still make a deposit when booking, but it will be refunded the day of surgery once your Care Credit information is provided for payment.
step 3.
upload your rabies certificate (if your pet is 3+ months and 3+ lbs.)
Proof of Rabies vaccine is required and can be uploaded during booking or emailed in advance of the surgery date. A rabies tag is not sufficient proof. If your pet isn't current, we'll vaccinate on the day of surgery at your cost.
step 4.
watch your inbox
Be on the look out for quick digital forms. All surgery consent forms and paperwork should be completed online and in advance.
step 5.
changing plans?
Cancel or reschedule up to 72 hours in advance for a full deposit refund.
day-of checklist
dogs | cats | |
|---|---|---|
no breakfast after midnight (kittens ≤ 4 months may eat ½ breakfast) | ||
drop-off | 7:30 AM | 8:00 AM |
pick-up | 3:30 PM | 4:00 PM |
If pets are 8+ years, pre-surgery bloodwork is strongly recommended. If not provided, we’ll ask you to sign a High-Risk Waiver. We can run this test in our clinic or accept recent results from your vet.
Community cat caretakers may choose to pick up on the same day at 4:30 PM (if caretaker is able to recover the cat indoors overnight) or the next day at 9:30 AM or 3:30 PM (only available for Monday-Wednesday surgery patients).
special programs
community cats
Our Community Cat package includes the spay/neuter surgery, rabies vaccination, FVRCP vaccination, 72-hour pain injection, flea treatment, and ear tip for outdoor stray and feral cats.. This package can make a huge impact on your community! You can learn more about Community Cats and TNR (trap/neuter/return) here
Be sure select the Community Cat Package on the checkout screen. Please note, we are not able to assist with trapping and/or transportation of community cats. You need to be able to catch, safely contain, and bring to the clinic for a scheduled appointment.
If you need help, such as trapping a large colony of cats, reach out to Indy Neighborhood Cats.
This program is for feral outdoor cats only. All cats must arrive in a humane trap to receive community cat pricing. Cats not brought in a trap will be charged the normal cat spay/neuter pricing.
rescue partners
If you own or operate a qualifying 501c3 dog or cat rescue or municipal shelter and are in need of spay/neuter or vaccine clinic services for the animals in your rescue, you may qualify for special pricing. Please email spayneuterhelp@indyhumane.org for more information.
