Cat Neutering In Leicester

In accordance with recommendations from Cats Protection and the RSPCA, we advise neutering both male and female cats at four months of age due to their early reproductive development.

A female cat’s uterus and ovaries are removed during spaying, while a male cat’s testes are removed during castration.

Benefits of Cat Neutering in Leicester

• Avoids unintended pregnancies and diseases in the womb
• Helps shield against breast cancer and tumours.
• Additionally, it can help prevent prostate illness and testicular cancer.
• Helps to stop aggressive and roving behaviour
  Getting neutered is normal! In the UK, 86% of cats that are owned are neutered.

Should I let my cat have one litter before spaying her?

As with dogs and rabbits, there are no established health benefits to letting your cat have a litter. People ask this question a lot.

General anaesthesia for cats

We have protocols in place at Kings Vets in Leicester to ensure your pet’s safety throughout the general anaesthesia needed for neutering. A dedicated Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) will keep a careful eye on your pet during surgery and recovery. Anaesthesia always carries some danger, but since neutering is often performed on young, healthy, and fit pets, the risk is quite low.

Depending on your pet’s breed, age, and other underlying medical issues, their risk of anaesthesia may rise. Prior to your pet’s surgery, we can do a pre-anesthesia blood test to identify any underlying problems; this can be discussed at the time of scheduling as well as on the day of the procedure. Two forms of pain management will be administered to your pet, along with a premedication to aid with their relaxation. The Leicester based veterinary team at Kings Vets will always be there to help your pet, so don’t worry.

Your cat will stay the day with us

Upon admittance, we will go over the consent paperwork and talk about the process. The registered owner or the authorised agent, who must be at least eighteen years old, must sign the consent document. When our professionals are satisfied with your cat’s recuperation, they will release them later that day. Your pet will be admitted as a “day patient.”

During your pet’s discharge appointment, the veterinarians will go over all the information you need to know about pain management and post-operative care. Please give our Leicester based clinics a ring at 01664 567481 for our Melton practice or 0116 260 9367 for our Syston location if you have any more questions after you and your pet have returned home. We may be reached by phone at any time.

Before your Cat Neutering Appointment

We kindly request that you visit Kings Vets with your cat in a secure cat basket and a cosy blanket. Cats, being territorial creatures, would rather stay in familiar surroundings. To find out how to prepare for bringing your cat to visit us, click here.
