What Low Cost Spay-neuter Clinic, Inc. does

Low Cost Spay-neuter Clinic, Inc. (DBA: Low Cost Spay & Neuter Clinic / Low Cost Spay and Neuter Clinic Indiana) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit veterinary services organization headquartered at 10175 Pleasant St., Noblesville, IN 46060, incorporated and operating in Indiana since receiving its tax-exempt status on February 8, 2006. Its primary mission is to reduce pet overpopulation and expand access to affordable veterinary care in Central Indiana. The organization operates two physical clinic locations — Noblesville (headquarters, offering the full surgical menu) and Brownsburg (409 N. Green St., Brownsburg, IN 46112) — plus a Spay/Neuter Transport Program that brings services to more than 20 underserved Indiana counties (Bartholomew, Cass, Shelby, Johnson, Delaware, Howard, Starke, Jasper, Fulton, Miami, Marshall, Vigo, Decatur, Rush, Montgomery, Ripley, Franklin and others), transporting 7,354 cats and dogs to its clinics for same-day surgery in 2024.

Service delivery is organized around three buckets. First, core spay/neuter: cat spay/neuter at $85 and dog spay/neuter at $100–$160 (tiered by weight), with feral and outdoor cat packages at $60 and $70 respectively for Trap-Neuter-Return programs. Second, preventive care: walk-in vaccine clinics (Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday 2:30–5 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m.–Noon) covering rabies, 5-in-1 combo, Bordetella, FeLV, and a full $55 / mini $40 dog vaccine package; dental cleanings at $125 (cats) and $135–$165 (dogs); and retail of heartworm and flea/tick preventives (Heartgard, Sentinel, Advantage Multi, Effitix Plus, Nexgard, Capstar) on 3- to 12-month supplies. Third, additional surgical services at Noblesville: amputations ($100–$1,000), eye and ear surgery (e.g., TECA at $2,500), hernia repair ($50–$750), emergency surgery ($1,000–$1,500 foreign body, $350–$800 pyometra), gastropexy, cystotomy, mass removal, mastectomy, and orthopedic procedures (FHO $500–$1,000, ACL repair $1,200–$3,000, luxating patella $2,000, fracture repair starting $2,000), plus on-site X-rays at $100–$200.

The business model is fundamentally donor-and-fee supported rather than venture-backed. Revenue streams are pay-as-you-go service fees and product sales, supplemented by grants, donations, fundraising events, and a below-market lease on Hamilton County-owned buildings. Five full-time surgeons with 72 years of combined experience deliver the clinical capacity, supported by a Business Manager (Heather Harpold) and a leadership team led by Executive Director Tammy Sollenberger. Customer segments span individual pet owners (primary), feral cat colony caretakers, and Indiana animal rescue/shelter organizations reached via the transport program. Marketing is primarily website-, email-, and referral-driven, with community partners functioning as a de facto distribution channel.
