Pre-Appointment
Requirements
Before scheduling an appointment, please ensure the following:
- Cats must weigh at least 2 pounds.
- Cats should be in good health. Sick cats will not be accepted for surgery.
- Cats must arrive in a secure hard plastic carrier or humane trap—no soft carriers or cardboard boxes.
- One cat per carrier or trap.
- Must arrive during scheduled drop-off hour.
- Due to high demand, we have deposit and cancellation policies in place. Missed appointments are costly and reduce the number of cats we can help.
- A $25 deposit per cat is required when booking an appointment.
- Deposits are non-refundable if cancellation is made within 24 hours of the appointment; however, we offer flexibility for active trappers—please contact us as soon as possible if issues arise.
- If you need to cancel or reschedule, please notify us at least 24 hours in advance.
- Please arrive on time for pick-up. A $20 late fee may apply for late pick-ups.
- Owned cats must be up to date on vaccinations.
- No cats over 5 years old.
- For male cats, both testicles must be present at the time of surgery. We reserve the right to decline surgery if both testicles are not detected.
- All owned cats (male and female) are required to have a recovery cone for post-op care. You may bring one with you at drop-off (to show proof you have one), or you will be charged $10 and provided with one. Cones will be placed on the cats when they arrive home. This requirement does not apply to community cats.
