Cat spaying 🐈

Spaying a cat (cat spaying, feline spay) is the removal of the ovaries and uterus through a small incision, most often on the flank (flank spaying) or the midline of the abdomen. The surgery takes a few dozen minutes under general anesthesia.
 

It is a routine procedure that protects her health, calms the household, and prevents unwanted kittens. It is short and, in the hands of an experienced vet, highly safe. We will care for your cat from the pre-op exam to the post-op check-up.
 

Why spay your cat?

  • Fewer unwanted kittens. An unspayed cat can have litters up to three times a year. Spaying helps reduce feline overpopulation and crowded shelters.

  • Calmer and more cuddly cat. Spayed cats tend to be more balanced and prefer to stay at home.

  • End of repeated heat cycles. The cat will stop loud meowing and restless behavior.

  • Health prevention. Studies show that spayed cats live longer.
     

When is the best time to spay a cat?
Spaying is ideal before first sexual maturity, around 6 months of age. However, the procedure is also possible later.

  • Heat: not an obstacle, spaying can be done during it.

  • Pregnancy: a pregnant cat can also be spayed.

  • After birth: wait until kittens are weaned, so about 6–8 weeks.

  • Cats over 6 years or with issues: we recommend a pre-op examination before surgery.
     

How to prepare a cat for spaying?

  1. Book an appointment by phone or online.

  2. Check vaccinations and deworming. Spaying should occur at least 3 weeks after vaccination.

  3. Let the cat fast for 6–8 hours (kittens approx. 4 hours). Withdraw water one hour before surgery. An empty stomach prevents vomiting during anesthesia.

  4. Bring the cat in a carrier. She is calmer and safer in it.
     

How is the spay procedure done?
We first examine the cat, then she is anesthetized, and surgery takes place in a sterile room under constant vital sign monitoring.

  • Examination: about 10 minutes

  • Anesthesia & prep: about 15 minutes

  • The surgery itself: 20–30 minutes

  • Waking up: roughly half an hour

  • Going home: after about an hour The incision is made on the left side of the abdomen, is max 2 cm long, and closed with 2–3 stitches. The uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes are removed. Post-surgery, the cat gets a long-acting antibiotic and painkillers.
     

Care after cat spaying

  • Check the wound at least twice a day. It should be dry with no discharge.

  • Prevent licking. If the cat licks the wound, use a recovery collar or suit. Often, neither is needed.

  • Ensure rest. About 10 days without jumping and running, ideally indoors.

  • Feed carefully. Offer the first meal after at least 4 hours, at most a third of the usual dose.

  • Stitches fall out on their own in 2–3 weeks. If your cat vomits and still refuses to eat after 24 hours, contact us.
     

Possible complications after spaying
Mild swelling or redness of the wound, drowsiness or loss of appetite up to 24 hours are normal. Rarely, the wound gets infected, mostly due to licking. Stitch separation is extremely rare. Contact us immediately if you notice:

  • pale mucous membranes or apathy

  • bloody vomiting or diarrhea

  • bloody or purulent wound discharge

  • trouble urinating or heavy breathing


How will the cat change after spaying?

  • Behavior: she is calmer and cuddlier, yet still hunts.

  • Weight: spayed cats, especially indoor ones, are prone to obesity. Proper portions and enough play will help.

  • Health: spaying does not cause incontinence or more frequent urinary issues.
     

Frequently Asked Questions


How much does spaying a cat cost?
You can find the spaying price here.
 

How long does it take to spay a cat?
The surgery itself takes about 20–30 minutes. With the exam, anesthesia, and waking up, the cat goes home in about an hour.
 

Can a cat be spayed in heat or pregnant?

Yes. Neither heat nor pregnancy prevents spaying.
 

Is spaying or hormonal contraception better?
Hormonal injections increase the risk of diabetes and uterine inflammation, and human contraception is dangerous for cats. Spaying is a reliable and safe solution.
 

Can a stray cat be spayed too?
Yes. The cat must be in a trap cage. Post-surgery, she gets a mark in the left ear to avoid recapture, and can be vaccinated against rabies during the spay.
 

Will the cat gain weight after spaying?
She might. Spayed cats use less energy. Watch portion sizes and provide the cat with plenty of exercise.

Tomcat neutering 😺

Neutering a tomcat (tomcat neuter, neutering of male cats) is the removal of the testicles. It is the shortest and least demanding procedure, taking a few minutes to tens of minutes, and the cat is usually back on his feet the next day. This procedure can also be performed in a veterinary ambulance. It is a routine procedure. It calms him down, reduces roaming, fighting, and marking, and protects his health.
 

Why neuter your tomcat?

  • Less roaming and escaping. A neutered tomcat does not roam after females and escapes from home less.

  • Fewer fights. Tomcats stop competing with others over territory, lowering the risk of injuries and diseases.

  • End of marking. The tomcat's urine smells less, and he stops marking the apartment.

  • Calmer and more cuddly cat. The animal is more balanced and tends to stay at home more.

  • Health prevention. According to statistics, neutered animals live longer.

  • Necessary procedure for cryptorchidism. If one or both testicles have not descended, neutering is medically necessary.
     

When to neuter a tomcat?
In Czechia, tomcats were traditionally neutered after sexual maturation. However, experience from the USA and practice shows it is better to neuter earlier. We recommend the procedure right after completing basic vaccinations. Early neutering helps prevent marking and roaming before they become a habit.
 

How to prepare a tomcat for neutering?

  1. Book an appointment by phone or online.

  2. Let the cat fast for 6–8 hours. Withdraw water one hour before surgery. An empty stomach prevents vomiting during anesthesia.

  3. Bring the tomcat in a carrier. He is calmer and safer in it.
     

How is the neutering procedure done?
We first examine the cat, then he is anesthetized, and surgery takes place in a sterile room under constant vital sign monitoring.

  • Examination and anesthetics: about 15 minutes

  • Anesthesia and preparation: about 15 minutes

  • The surgery itself: roughly 10 minutes

  • Waking up: 10–20 minutes

  • Going home: after about an hour The incision is small, around 1 cm, made through the scrotum, removing both testicles. Spermatic cords and vessels are ligated with absorbable material. The skin is not stitched; the wound is only treated with an antiseptic spray.
     

Care after tomcat neutering
Care is simple. Just make sure the tomcat does not lick his wound. Most cats ignore it and heal in 3–4 days. Only a few need a recovery collar.

Possible complications after neutering Mild wound swelling usually disappears on its own in a few days. Temporary loss of appetite may occur up to 24 hours post-anesthesia. If the swelling persists, the wound suppurates, or the cat refuses to eat for over a day, contact us.
 

How will the cat change after neutering?

  • Behavior: testosterone fades gradually (half-life of about 21 days), but calmness often appears after a week.

  • Fertility and marking: the tomcat can still fertilize a female and occasionally mark for about 3 weeks.

  • Hunting instincts: remain intact.

  • Weight: some tomcats are prone to obesity. Watch portion sizes and provide the cat with plenty of exercise.

  • Health: neutering does not cause incontinence. It is not true that neutered tomcats suffer more from urinary issues.

Chemical castration 💊

Chemical castration of a dog is a temporary, non-surgical option. A hormonal implant under the skin suppresses sex hormones for several months. Used in dogs, sometimes in tomcats (chemical castration of tomcats) and ferrets.

Pros: it is reversible, needs no surgery and lets you test how a dog would respond to castration (e.g. with marking or aggression).
Cons: the effect is temporary, the implant must be repeated, symptoms may briefly get stronger after the first one, and in the long run it costs more than permanent surgery.

We’ll discuss the risks of chemical castration and owners’ experience at a consultation. It does not replace surgery in females at risk of pyometra. The vet decides if it’s worthwhile.

Inhalační anestezie (1).png

Inhalation Anesthesia

In veterinary medicine, inhalation anesthesia is generally regarded as a gentler and more easily controllable form of anesthesia in terms of depth, allowing animals to wake up faster and remain calmer afterward. The Mindray VETA 3X is among the most compact anesthesia machines available on the market. If needed, it can therefore also serve our veterinarians directly in our veterinary ambulance.
