Spay / neuter
Dr. Cindy Houlihan performs a spay. Spayed and neutered cats live longer and are less likely to roam and have behavior problems.
About feline SPAY
When a female cat gets spayed, her ovaries and uterus are removed which means no
noisy heat cycles. Spays are performed under general anesthesia with careful
monitoring. Your cat is given pain medication and, in most cases, is ready to go home
at the end of the day.
About feline NEUTER
Neutering is the removal of the testicles of a male cat; the penis is left intact. The
surgery is done under general anesthesia with careful monitoring. Two small incisions
are made. Your cat is given pain medication and, in most cases, is ready to go home
at the end of the day.
