Clinic list last verified: 2026-08-28

Indianapolis has two high-volume nonprofit surgery clinics - FACE Low Cost Animal Clinic on Massachusetts Avenue and IndyHumane's Downtown Clinic on Holmes Avenue - and both publish flat rates anyone can book: $135 and $130 for a cat, $210 and $195 for a dog. Everything cheaper than that is a subsidy programme rather than a clinic. FIDO Indy, Hoosier Fix and Indy Dog Advocates all require Marion County residency plus proof of income or public assistance, and all three buy surgery slots at IndyHumane rather than operating their own theatre. For a sick animal rather than a spay, the short list is West Michigan Street Veterinary Clinic, a walk-in-only practice that publishes a $39 exam fee and $15 vaccines, and All Pet Express by Noah's on West Washington Street, where a wellness exam is $32.

What is specific to Indianapolis

Almost all of the free capacity in Marion County runs through one operating room. FIDO Indy, Hoosier Fix and IndyHumane's Operation Pit Stop all schedule their subsidised surgeries into IndyHumane's Downtown Clinic at 456 N Holmes Avenue; Hoosier Fix states outright that it has no office or building.
The income tests are written down and they are strict. FIDO Indy caps a one-person household at $31,920 a year (or accepts SNAP, Medicaid excluding M.E.D. Works, Section 8, VA disability, WIC or Free School Lunch), and Pet Friendly Services' SNAP programme caps a one-person household at $31,300. Indy Dog Advocates uses a different line again: $50 for a dog if the household earns $27,000 or less, $75 up to $50,000.
Pet Friendly Services issues only 100 SNAP certificates a week statewide. The form opens at 9:00 a.m. Eastern each Monday and closes when they are gone, each household is limited to two per week and 15 per lifetime, the certificate arrives by post (allow up to 30 days) and expires six months after issue.
FACE's spay/neuter calendar runs about five weeks out - the clinic says appointments 'tend to be filled five weeks in advance' and cannot be booked more than five weeks ahead - and it no longer accepts walk-in community cats at all; TNR appointments are made by phone or text in the spring.
The cheapest cat surgery an Indianapolis resident can reach is not in Marion County. Low Cost Spay and Neuter Clinic in Brownsburg, about 15 miles west, charges $85 for a male cat and $90 for a female, against $130-$135 inside the city.

How low-cost vet clinics decide who they will treat

Low-cost veterinary care in the US is rationed two ways: by proof and by queue. Free clinics ask you to prove you qualify. Flat-rate clinics charge everyone the same reduced price and ration by how far out the calendar is booked.

Proof of public assistance, not a means test

Most free clinics do not ask for pay stubs. They ask to see a card: Medicaid, SNAP or WIC, SSI, SSDI, TANF, public-housing tenancy, or a state EBT card. If you hold one of those, you are in. If you are poor but enrolled in none of them, you are usually out — which is the single most common reason applicants get turned away.

ZIP-code gating

Clinics funded to serve a specific neighborhood check your address before your income. Living one block outside the boundary disqualifies you regardless of what you earn. Check the ZIP list before you book anything.

What free clinics actually do

The free tier is overwhelmingly spay/neuter, core vaccines and microchipping. Sick-animal care, dentistry, imaging and surgery are far scarcer, usually run by a nonprofit hospital or a subsidy fund attached to a full-price hospital rather than by a free clinic.

Appointments, waitlists and lotteries

Walk-in low-cost care barely exists. Expect appointment-only booking, prepayment, and in the case of mobile clinics a same-day waitlist that opens early in the morning and fills within minutes. Signing up is not the same as having a slot.

What the same procedure costs at a full-price clinic

A low-cost price is only a bargain if you know the alternative. Our cost research covers the same procedures at ordinary US practices — see what a dog spay or neuter costs, what a cat spay or neuter costs, what a dog dental cleaning costs and what a rabies shot costs.

Proof of rabies vaccination is required for pets 3+ months and 3+ lbs and a rabies tag is not accepted as proof.

Registered 501(c)(3) rescues and municipal shelters may qualify for separate pricing by emailing spayneuterhelp@indyhumane.org.

Booking and questions are handled by email (spayneuterhelp@indyhumane.org) rather than by phone; IndyHumane does not publish a phone number for this clinic. New dates open weekly and cancellations must be made 72 hours ahead for a deposit refund. Pre-surgical bloodwork is strongly recommended for pets 8 years and older, otherwise a high-risk waiver is required. This is the operating room behind the FIDO Indy, Hoosier Fix and Indy Dog Advocates subsidy programmes.

Operation Pit Stop

Humane society · Run by IndyHumane (Humane Society of Indianapolis) · 456 N Holmes Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46222

Who qualifies: Open to large-breed dogs 40 lbs and over. IndyHumane states that FIDO requires clients to be Marion County residents and able to income qualify through FIDO's programme. All appointments must be scheduled through IndyHumane's partners - FIDO Indy or Hoosier Fix - not with IndyHumane directly.

A donor-funded programme, not a standing clinic: IndyHumane says one spay/neuter surgery costs $195 and the fund is matched up to $7,500, so capacity is limited to what has been raised. Surgery takes place at IndyHumane's Downtown Clinic on Holmes Avenue.

West Michigan Street Veterinary Clinic

Low-cost private practice · 3811 West Michigan Street, Indianapolis, IN 46222 · (317) 757-5077

Hours: Walk-in only; doctors' hours vary day to day and are published on the clinic's online calendar. Wait times vary and walk-in hours may be cut off early depending on volume.

A $39 pre-surgical consultation with the veterinarian plus a deposit is required before a surgery date will be given. The clinic declines to treat breeding animals under joint ownership or contract.

Any pet receiving only vaccinations is not charged an office visit. The clinic does not perform tail docking, ear cropping, debarking, declaws, cosmetic dewclaw removal, c-sections, knee surgery, cherry eye or cataract surgery.

Who qualifies: Marion County residents only, and income-qualified via at least one of: receiving any form of income-based government assistance including SNAP, Medicaid (EXCEPT the M.E.D. Works program), Section 8 Housing, VA disability, WIC, or the Free School Lunch Program; or, if not receiving assistance, gross income at or below the published table - $31,920/year for a household of 1, $43,280 for 2, $54,640 for 3, $66,000 for 4, rising $11,360 for each additional person.

Registration requires a mobile phone with talk or text, a valid photo ID, proof of Marion County residency, and a dated award letter for public assistance, a paycheck, or an unemployment letter.

FIDO does not operate a clinic - it schedules, funds and transports the surgeries, collecting pets in a cargo van and delivering them to partner clinics. Direct programmes focus on dogs, but FIDO also registers cat-only households and community cat caretakers so they can reach Indy Neighborhood Cats' resources through the joint pet food pantry. FIDO reserves the right to close the registration line early when volume is high.

You qualify if you receive any of: Energy Assistance Program, Food Stamps (Hoosier Works), HIP (Healthy Indiana Plan), Major VA Disability, Medicaid (not Medicare), Section 8 Housing, Social Security Disability (SSD, not Social Security Retirement Income), or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Otherwise, gross annual income must be under $31,300 for a household of 1, $42,300 for 2, $53,500 for 3, $64,300 for 4, plus $11,000 for each additional person. You must upload a document proving income qualification - a photo of your HIP card, Hoosier Works card, or the cover page of your federal tax return with the social security number crossed out. Each household is limited to two SNAP certificates per week and 15 per lifetime. State law requires the pet to have a current rabies vaccine, which SNAP does not cover.

A voucher programme, not a clinic - Pet Friendly Services publishes no street address. The online request form opens at 9:00 a.m. Eastern each Monday and closes once that week's 100 certificates are claimed; if there is no submit button at the bottom of the application, they are sold out for the week. The certificate is posted to you (allow up to 30 days) and expires six months from issue. You then book at one of the participating vets on the organisation's map; some are booked months in advance. Formerly Spay-Neuter Services of Indiana (SNSI).

Low Cost Spay and Neuter Clinic - Brownsburg

Nonprofit clinic · 409 N. Green St., Brownsburg, IN 46112 · (317) 852-0537

Who qualifies: Open to the public at the published flat rates with no income test. Proof of rabies vaccine is required at the time of surgery, or the rabies vaccine must be given at the time of surgery. An additional fee applies if the animal is pregnant.

Not in Indianapolis - Brownsburg is in Hendricks County, roughly 15 miles west of downtown, and this is the cheapest cat spay/neuter an Indianapolis resident can reach. Take-home pain medication (dogs, 5 days) and a pain injection (cats, 48 hours) are included in the surgery price. The organisation also runs a second clinic at 10175 Pleasant St., Noblesville, IN 46060, (317) 770-4114, and a Spay/Neuter Transport Program that has reached Marion County among 35 named Indiana counties; it transported 7,354 cats and dogs in 2024.

Indianapolis Animal Care Services (IACS)

Government / municipal · 2600 S. Harding St., Indianapolis, IN 46221 · (317) 327-1397

Who qualifies: IndyCARES, the assistance arm of IACS, is for pet owners who need medical and financial help so they do not have to surrender an animal to the shelter; requests are made by emailing Info@indycares.org. IACS itself provides medical attention to community cats. Stray animals are accepted at intake by appointment only, and owners wanting to surrender must email IACSIntake@Indy.gov first.

Marion County's municipal shelter. It is not a walk-in clinic for owned pets - the veterinary help runs through the IndyCARES programme by email. Facts here are taken from FACE Low Cost Animal Clinic's published partner-resources page because the agency's own indy.gov page is a JavaScript application that serves no readable text.

Indy Neighborhood Cats

Nonprofit clinic · 6929 E 10th St #143, Indianapolis, IN 46219 · (317) 386-6916

Who qualifies: Help for sick or injured stray and community cats covers all of Marion County with these exceptions: Southport, Beech Grove, Speedway and Lawrence. If you live within those city limits you are told to contact your local animal care officer instead. Trap-neuter-return and medical assistance are requested through the organisation's online TNR and Medical Assistance form.

A volunteer trap-neuter-return organisation, not a clinic - the address in its website footer is a mailbox and no surgery happens there. INC facilitates TNR and can help schedule community cats that need medical care; FACE and IndyHumane do the surgery. It also runs a winter shelter programme distributed from the FIDO warehouse and co-staffs FIDO's pet food pantry.

The Eastside Pawject

Who qualifies: Open to anyone, no income test. Dogs are walk-in Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.; cats require an appointment.

Microchipping only - the organisation otherwise runs east-side pet food pantry boxes and refers owners to affordable spay/neuter and vaccination clinics. It notes that in 2025 permanent identification became law in Marion County, requiring all pets to have a microchip or other approved form of ID. The clinic does not publish a ZIP code for the Washington Street site.
