At Animal Medical Center of Midwest City in Midwest City, OK, we believe that one of the best things you can do as a responsible pet parent after adopting a new cat is to seek a veterinarian near you to perform a cat spaying or cat neutering procedure, also known as getting them "fixed." Our team can perform this procedure on your furry feline family member and would be happy to walk you through the process. If you have a dog, you will also want to ask about our services that cater to dog spaying and dog neutering. For other animals, you can inquire about our capacity to perform pet spaying and pet neutering in general.
What Is Cat Spaying?
For residents of Midwest City, OK, and beyond, cat spaying involves removing all or some reproductive organs in a female cat to prevent unwanted litters. As a veterinarian near you, we can vouch for the convenience of our vet animal clinic if you want to be close to where you’re scheduling a cat spaying or cat neutering procedure. Similar to dog spaying and dog neutering, pet spaying for cats has significant health benefits. As a whole, pet neutering and spaying help reduce the number of stray animals, ease the burden on overpopulated shelters, and contribute to better pet population control.
What Is Cat Neutering?
Unlike spaying, neutering a cat involves the removal of a male cat’s reproductive organs. When this happens, the male cat is unable to sire a litter. Some pet parents also notice that neutering reduces spraying issues that can damage your furniture and surroundings. Additionally, cats who were rambunctious before being neutered have been reported to calm down according to anecdotes. Of course, every pet is different, so your pet’s energy level may or may not change significantly after neutering.
Why You Should Spay or Neuter Your Cat
Spaying and neutering cats benefit both the cat and the environment. When a cat is “fixed,” the risk of health problems related to their reproductive system decreases. Spaying procedures can relieve stress and eliminate health risks related to pregnancy for the cat. Additionally, many breeders and shelters require you to "fix" your pet, so it’s important to follow their guidelines.
