🐱 Neutering Your Cat – A Small Procedure with Lifelong Benefits 💚
Neutering is one of the best decisions you can make for your cat’s long-term health and wellbeing. It not only helps prevent unwanted litters but also offers many health and behavioural benefits.
✨ Benefits of neutering include:
🐾 Reduced roaming, helping to keep your cat safer.
🐾 Less urine spraying and territorial behaviour.
🐾 A lower risk of certain cancers and reproductive diseases.
🐾 A calmer temperament with fewer hormone-driven behaviours.
🐾 Helping reduce the number of unwanted kittens in our community.
What happens during the procedure?
Neutering is a routine operation performed under a general anaesthetic. Male cats are usually able to go home the same day, and most recover very quickly. Female cats have a slightly longer surgery and may need a little more recovery time, but they also return home the same day in most cases.
Post-operative care:
💚 Keep your cat indoors and allow them to rest.
💚 Prevent jumping and rough play for the first few days.
💚 Check the wound daily for redness, swelling or discharge.
💚 Use the protective collar or medical suit if advised to stop licking the incision.
💚 Give any prescribed medication exactly as directed.
💚 Offer food and water once they’re fully awake, but don’t worry if their appetite is a little reduced on the first evening.
💚 Contact us if you notice excessive swelling, bleeding, discharge, or if your cat seems unusually quiet or unwell.
Every cat is different, and we’re always happy to answer any questions you may have before or after the procedure.
📞 Feel free to contact us to discuss neutering and whether it’s the right time for your cat. 🐾💚
