Planning & Pricing

12/28/20: Effective Jan. 1, 2021 feral/community cats can only be brought to our clinic in humane traps. We will no longer allow hard sided carriers to be used as an alternative. If a cat is friendly enough to be placed in a hard carrier we recommend making a traditional spay/neuter appointment. 

11/20/20: Effective immediately, all surgery appointments require a $5 deposit upon booking. This will be applied to your final bill. You may cancel/reschedule your appointment 72 hours prior to your surgery for a refund. After that point, the deposit will become a donation if you do not arrive for your appointment.  

5/20/20: Beginning June 1 there will be a $3 COVID-19 Anesthesia Surcharge for all owned cats and dogs at the time of their surgery. This is due to changes in drug protocols due to COVID-19. (This will not apply to feral cat surgeries.)

5/18/20: Until further notice, feral cats are only allowed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Thank you for your understanding during this challenging time.

Planning for Surgery

Drop-off and pick-up times are different for dogs and cats:

Pets must be be checked-in no later than thirty minutes past their designated drop-off time. Mornings are a busy period, so plan to be at our clinic for twenty to thirty minutes when checking-in. If you have not arrived within the thirty minute grace period allowed, then your pet’s surgery may need to be rescheduled.

When You Arrive

Leave dogs in the car until you have checked in. If your dog already has an Elizabethan collar
A cone-shaped veterinary device of plastic placed around the neck of your dog to prevent him or her from licking, biting, or scratching the surgical incision., bring it with you the morning of surgery. If you do not have one, we will be happy to fit him/her with one for an additional $10.

You may bring owned cats inside when checking in. For their safety, all cats must be in carriers prior to entering the clinic. Each cat must leave in its own individual carrier after surgery. If you do not have multiple carriers, we can provide cardboard carriers upon check-out for an additional $5 per carrier.

Feral/Community Cats

Community cats (unsocialized or unowned) cats must arrive in a trap with a towel, blanket or sheet covering them before entering. If a cat is brought in anything other than a humane trap, a transfer fee will be applied. Additionally, we require that each cat leaves after surgery in a trap. If one is not provided, carriers can purchased at the clinic.

Please, never cover the trap with a plastic bag or any material that could cause the cat to suffocate. Covering the trap helps to keep the cat calm. All feral cats will receive an eartip. Ear tipping is the universal sign of an altered community cat. While the cat is sedated for the spay or neuter surgery, a small portion is removed from the tip of the left ear in a straight line cut. The procedure is swift and painless and healing is rapid.

• One or two feral cats at a time do not require an appointment (Mondays and Tuesday only until further notice)
• Three or more feral cats must have an appointment. Please call 678-561-3491 to make an appointment.
