****IMPORTANT PRESURGICAL INFORMATION-PLEASE READ!!!!!!
- Cats must be 4 months or older for surgery. No cats over 5 years of age
- I will spay cats that are in heat if they are under 2 years of age. Cats over 2 years old should be rescheduled if they are in heat.
- Cats should be in good health. It is risky to anesthetize sick cats.
- Drop-off time is 7-7:30am; pick-up is 5-6 pm.
- Take away food by midnight the night before the surgery. Water is OK. If your cat is less than 5 months old take away food first thing on the morning of the surgery, rather than the night before.
- All cats MUST be in secure hard carriers or live traps. Please line carrier with newspaper (no towels or pee pads). If you do not have newspaper, you can use paper towels or a brown paper grocery bag. No cardboard carriers/boxes, and no soft zippered carriers. If your cat cannot easily be picked up, it must be in a live trap. One cat per carrier.
- EFFECTIVE APRIL 1 2023, THE COST WILL BE $80 FOR FEMALES, AND $50 FOR MALES. PAYMENT IS CASH ONLY.
- Vaccines (FVRCP, Rabies) are available for additional cost. Vaccines are optional. FVRCP is $10.00 and requires a booster vaccine (also $10) in 3-4 weeks. Rabies is $15.00 and is good for a year from the date it is given.
- Please make sure that your cat is protected from fleas. Many cats come with fleas….if you do not want to inherit someone else’s flea problem, you should use a good topical monthly flea product. Most flea collars do not work. Also, if your cat has fleas, it would be a kindness to others to treat your cat with an effective flea product (Capstar-available at pet stores) to help keep your flea problem from spreading to other cats.
- Please verify that you have received the email confirmation for your appointment (you should receive this within minutes of making the appointment). You can also check the sign up list for the date of your appointment. If your name is on the sign up list, you are good to go!
