Simple & Stress-Free Process
Working with feral cats presents unique challenges. We’ve designed our program to be as straightforward as possible:
No Pre-Exam Required: Unlike owned cats, feral cats do not need a preliminary examination before surgery day, making the process easier for both you and the cat.
Scheduling Surgery
Step 1: Trap the Cat: Please use a humane trap to safely capture the feral cat.
Step 2: Call for Availability:
- If trapped during business hours: Call the afternoon before your desired surgery date to check availability at either of our locations
- If trapped after hours: Call before 9:00 AM the following morning to check for same-day availability
Step 3: Drop-Off Cats must arrive at the hospital no later than 10:00 AM on surgery day.
Important Information
Ear Tipping:: All feral cats receive an ear tip during surgery. This universal symbol identifies them as spayed/neutered cats, preventing unnecessary re-trapping and helping colony caretakers monitor their cats.
Pain Management: Every cat receives Zorbium, an advanced pain medication that provides continuous comfort for 3 days post-surgery. This is essential for cats returning to outdoor life.
Quick Recovery: Feral cats typically recover quickly and can be released 24-48 hours after surgery, depending on weather conditions and individual recovery.
