Spay/Neuter Assistance Program

At this time, submissions to the RIVMA Spay and Neuter Assistance program are on hold due to extremely limited availability at participating clinics.

The Rhode Island Veterinary Medical Association has developed a special program to help low-income pet owners afford the cost of spaying or neutering their cats or dogs.

Through this program, eligible pet owners can receive a discounted rate on spay or neuter surgery at participating veterinary hospitals and clinics throughout Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts.

Please note that the Rhode Island VMA is not a veterinary clinic. If you are eligible to receive assistance, you will receive a list of participating hospitals and clinics along with your acceptance via the mail.
