What is a spay?
A spay is a procedure that removes the ovaries, uterus and fallopian tubes of a female cat. It is performed on female cats or dogs to prevent pregnancy, breast cancer and feline AIDS (FIV).
A spay does not change the personality of a pet. Spaying your cat will not make her fat, lazy or aggressive. She will be able to live her life as an indoor-only cat without having to worry about getting pregnant every time she goes outside for a bit of romance with her neighbor’s tomcat—or even if you adopt another kitten down the road!

The age at which to spay your cat.
There are several reasons why it is best to have your cat spayed prior to sexual maturity. For one thing, if she is not spayed before puberty then she will most likely experience uterine cancer later in life. If a female cat has been spayed after her first heat cycle (in which she becomes pregnant), there is an 80% chance that the uterus will develop tumors.
Additionally, cats who are spayed before puberty tend to be less aggressive than those who aren’t. The hormones responsible for aggression are higher in females that have not yet experienced their first heat cycle, so if you want a calm pet at home then this may be important for you!
How much does it cost to spay a cat?
The average cost for a spay surgery is $300. However, this number can vary depending on your vet and the procedure. If you have a young kitten or are getting multiple procedures done at one time, you may be able to get a discount from your vet. Some vets also offer payment plans if you’re not able to pay up front.
Are there any risks?
There are some risks associated with spaying your cat. The first is a risk of infection, which can occur anywhere from 24 hours to a few months after the procedure. Your veterinarian may prescribe antibiotics for your pet in order to prevent or treat this problem. Another risk is bleeding, but this is relatively rare and usually only occurs if you’ve chosen not to pre-medicate your cat (which we recommend).
The third major risk from spaying your cat involves anesthesia reactions. Even though most cats do well under anesthesia, there’s always a chance that something could go wrong during anesthetic induction or emergence from it—so make sure you leave plenty of time in case they need more time than expected under the effects of their anesthetic drugs. And even if everything goes according to plan, there’s still some risk involved!
Finally: In extremely rare cases, cats have been known to reject their stitches and/or tear out their stitches completely within two weeks after being spayed—but this only happens when something goes wrong during surgery itself (such as poor surgical technique).
Summary
Keeping your cat spayed is a good idea for many reasons. Not only is it a surgical procedure, but it’s also an important way to control the population of cats in your neighborhood and keep them healthy.
If you plan on having your cat spayed, there are many things to consider before making the big decision. The cost of the surgery can be expensive depending on where you live and what type of insurance plan you have—it’s important to do some research beforehand!
Spaying your cat is a good idea if you want to keep the population of cats down, and also because it has several health benefits for your pet.

If you’re thinking about getting a cat, one of the first things you should consider is whether or not you want that cat to be fixed. Spaying (a female) or neutering (a male) involves removing all or part of her reproductive organs, so that she can no longer get pregnant and have kittens. Neutering involves removing all or part of his testicles, which prevents him from producing sperm and makes him less likely to spray urine around your house. Both procedures are considered “permanent sterilization” because once this happens there is no way for either sex to become fertile again without having another surgery done on them later in life.
Conclusion
Neutering your cat is one of the most loving gifts you can give them, and will likely save you money in the long run. We highly recommend that you take action as soon as possible to avoid medical issues later on in life, or costly litters of kittens
