6. At what age can I have my pet spayed or neutered?

     Spaying or neutering can be done at approximately 4 - 6 months of age. Your pet is given an exam prior to surgery to help determine whether he/she is healthy enough to undergo the surgical procedure. Current vaccinations are required at the time of surgery.   


7. How long do the sutures stay in after my pet's surgery?

     Procedures involving sutures require them to be removed  7 - 10 days following the surgery.

8. Is it a good idea to let my cat have at least one litter of kittens?

     No, there is no advantage to letting your cat have one litter of kittens. However there are plenty of advantages to having you pet spayed or neutered. These advantages include decreasing the chances of breast tumors later in life, decreasing the chance of cystic ovaries and uterine infections later in life, decreasing the desire to roam the neighborhood, helping prevent spraying and marking, and also decreases the surplus of unwanted kittens.

9. Do you board cats?

     Yes, we do boarding for cats.


10. What are your kennels like?

       We have large floor kennels, condo's, and we also have suites available for cats who are more comfortable not being around a lot of activity or seeing other cats. Blankets and food are provided for our boarders, but you are always welcome to bring your own.
