Spay Or Neuter?
Posted on January 17th, 2010 13 commentsHello all and thanks in advance for ur positive responses.
I have a cute ragdoll cat who gave birth to 4 kittens. I had her mate on purpose so I could have a new kitten in mt own home as well as at my 2 sisters and one brothers house.
The kittens are almost 7 weeks old and I would like to have them spayed and neutered (except for my kitten, so I can continue breeding) b4 I give then away. And more important than that I want to have me cat fixed (she runs out from time to time, usually when I’m bringing in groceries or laundry,) and I’m terrified she may be in heat without me knowing it and mate when I least expect it and I would’nt feel right killing kittens by having her neutered then.
But I defently don’t want mix breed kittens.
Someone told me about a site that gives away vouchers you can print out for discounts or free neutering.
She’s almost stopped nursing and I would love to set an appointment for her for a little peace of mind.

Is It Safe To Spay An Elderly Cat ?
Posted on October 9th, 2009 5 commentsI have a female cat who is siamese-burmese cross. She just turned twelve. She may need to be spayed due to several reasons. She started having kittens after she turned 8yrs old. Now she’s sick and tired of it ,but keeps getting pregnant ( I have 5 other cats too ). And the another reason is that she might have some sort of infection. Pyometra, i think. But i hope not. I still need to get her checked by the Vet.
I’m worried that she’s too old , and might not survive the surgery. Since i heard that there is risk with Anesthesia. That some pets just die when given that. i’m afraid of loosing her. please tell me whether it’s safe or not. I don’t know what to do
