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

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, decreasing the incidence of prostate cancer later in life, helping prevent spraying and marking, and also decreases the surplus of unwanted puppies and kittens.

10.  What are your kennels like?

   We have large, floor kennels, condo's, or we also have suites available for cats who would be 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.
