Pre-Surgery Instructions for CatsAdult cats should not eat after 6 PM on the night before surgery.
Cats must arrive in a secure plastic carrier, with only 1 cat per carrier. Cats without carriers or in cardboard carriers will NOT be accepted. Your pet will be recovering from surgery inside the carrier so please make sure you have a clean towel or sheet inside. Pre-Surgery Instructions for DogsComing soon.

Animals will receive dissolvable sutures, so no return visit will be necessary for suture removal. However, while sutures generally take only a few weeks to mostly dissolve, they can take from 2-6 months to fully dissolve. If 4 weeks go by after surgery, and it appears the sutures are not dissolving properly, feel free to call the shelter to schedule a time for the sutures to be removed at no charge.
