Cat Spaying & Neutering

A Healthier Future for Your Feline Friend

Why Spay or Neuter Your Cat?

Spaying (for females) and neutering (for males) are simple, safe procedures that prevent your cat from reproducing. Beyond population control, these procedures bring numerous health and behavioral benefits that can improve your cat's quality of life.

Benefits of Spaying & Neutering Your Cat

Health Benefits: Spaying reduces the risk of certain cancers and infections in females, including uterine infections and breast tumors. Neutering male cats reduces the risk of testicular cancer and prostate issues.

Improved Behavior: Neutered males are less likely to spray and mark territory. Both spayed and neutered cats are also less likely to roam, reducing their risk of getting lost or injured outdoors.

Reduces Aggression: Altered cats often show fewer signs of aggression toward other pets and people, making for a calmer and more affectionate companion.

Contributes to Overpopulation Control: Millions of cats enter shelters each year, and many are euthanized due to overpopulation. Spaying or neutering helps reduce this cycle, giving more cats a chance at a loving home.

When Should You Spay or Neuter Your Cat?

The ideal time for spaying or neutering varies but is generally recommended around 4-6 months of age, depending on your cat’s health and breed. Consult your veterinarian for the best timing for your pet.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Pre-Surgical Exam: Your veterinarian will examine your cat to ensure they’re healthy for surgery.

The Surgery: Spaying and neutering are routine procedures. Cats are given anesthesia, and the surgery itself is typically quick, with low risks of complications.

Post-Operative Care: After surgery, your vet will provide guidelines for caring for your cat at home, including managing any minor pain or preventing infection.
