Cat neutering is the removal of the uterus and ovaries of female cats.. A male cat's testes are removed during castration. Cat neutering is essential for maintaining the general well-being, behaviour, and health of our feline friends, and goes well beyond merely managing feline numbers. Due to their quick reproductive maturity, cats should be neutered by the time they are four months old, according to RSPCA and Cats Protection standards.
Our Cat Neutering Process
Cat neutering requires a general anaesthetic; at Gower Vets, we have procedures in place to guarantee your cat's safety during the process. Throughout the procedure and the healing period, your pet will be closely observed by a committed Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN).
To identify any underlying illness, we can do a pre-anaesthetic blood test before the cat neutering takes place. This can be addressed both when scheduling the treatment and on the day of the cat neutering procedure. In addition to two different forms of pain management, your pet will receive a premedication to help them relax. You can be confident that your pet will have the Gower team on their side at every turn.
We will go over the permission form and the protocol upon admittance. Please be aware that the consent form needs to be signed by the registered owner (who must be above 18). When our staff is satisfied with your cat's recovery, they will release them later that same day. The staff will go over all the information you require on your pet's post-operative care and pain medication during your pet's discharge appointment.
Benefits of Cat Neutering
Cat neutering comes with numerous benefits, not just for the cat, but for you, the owner, and the environment.
Health Benefits: Neutering lowers the chance of breast cancer, uterine infections, and testicular cancer in cats, among other reproductive malignancies and infections.
Behavioural Improvement: Neutered cats are frequently less prone to urine spraying, marking their territory, and other mating-related behaviours, as well as being less aggressive overall. Additionally, cat neutering can reduce your cat's likelihood of straying in search of a partner, which lowers your cat's chance of becoming lost, hurt, or engaged in conflict with other animals.
Longer Lifespan: Because neutered cats are less likely to have health problems connected to reproduction and are less likely to encounter outside hazards related to mating behaviour, they may live longer, healthier lives.
Financial Savings: By lowering the likelihood of expensive veterinarian care for problems related to reproductive health and reducing the need to manage unwanted litters, cat neutering can save pet owners money over time.
