Spaying or neutering is typically done when your cat is 4-6 months of age. Your cat will need to be examined prior to surgery to help determine that he/she is healthy enough to undergo the procedure. Your cat must also be current on vaccinations and have been tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV prior to surgery.
We require pre-anesthetic blood screening on all cats who undergo a surgical procedure. For kittens and younger cats, we can do a small in-house panel the morning of surgery. For adult and senior cats, we require a full blood panel to be done within the month prior to the procedure. The pre-anesthetic blood screening is done to assure safety during surgery and the ability to heal following surgery.
Sutures are typically removed 10-14 days after surgery.
No, there is no advantage to letting your cat have one litter. However, there are plenty of advantages to having your cat spayed or neutered. These advantages include: decreasing the chances of mammary tumors and cystic ovaries and uterine infections later in life, decreasing the desire to roam the neighborhood, helping prevent spraying and marking, and also decreasing the surplus of unwanted kittens.
Yes, we do offer boarding for our clients’ cats. All cats who board must be current on vaccinations and have been tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV.
All boarding cats are kept in individual cages in an area separate from where sick or hospitalized patients are kept. We make every effort to help them feel at home with comfortable bedding and lots of attention. We ask that you bring along your cat’s favorite food for us to feed during his/her stay as well as any medication he or she may need to take during their stay.
