Without it, a stray cat that is hurt or ill may not last long on the streets. Unfortunately, veterinary care for stray cats is not free. Before your next appointment, learn how pet insurance can reduce vet costs.

Never chase a stray cat or try to corner or “capture” one, as this can cause unnecessary stress that can lead to even more health problems or even death. Free TNR surgery and rabies shots every Wednesday for up to 40 cats. Free spay and neuter for domestic cats is open by appointment only. At The Cat Hospital, male cats generally go home the same day, while females are kept overnight. How the animal responds to anesthesia will determine how quickly he or she recovers, with most kitties bouncing back 24 hours after surgery, Dr. Sturtz said. After surgery, your veterinarian should reexamine your cat and he or she should be kept quiet and inside for a few days to ensure a full recovery.

Fortunately, there are many financial support options available that can help offset your financial responsibilities. Some resources are focused specifically on veterinary care. If you find that you cannot afford the veterinarian care of the stray cat that you are trying to save, don’t feel guilty. Instead, find a humane society or rescue center in your area that is willing to take the cat in and provide it with the care that they need. Additionally, some pet insurance plans provide coverage for spay and neuter surgery, making the cost even more manageable for pet owners. However, you should not expect a veterinarian to provide you with a bunch of free services as a thank you.

If any issues are found, we can refer you to one of our amazing vets on site for an exam and treatment. We are skilled in breed specific haircuts, hand scissoring, and many other styles. During times of illness, we are equipped to diagnose and manage your animals’ health care needs quickly and efficiently with a variety of in house diagnostic tools. Our doctors and assistants volunteer to read and present live animal presentations at our local library.

Strict quarantine measures need to be taken and it might be wiser to refer the stray to a shelter where they have the space, resources, and equipment to do a proper quarantine. So, you might pay for vet services at first, but if you sign up for insurance right away, you could get financial help within just a couple of weeks. Any surgeries or other such treatments could be put off until the insurance kicks in if the veterinarian whom you are working with doesn’t find such treatments to be critical at the moment. You should take a stray cat to a veterinarian anytime that you are concerned about one and you can safely get them in a carrier for transport.

Hi, my name is Lowell and I have always been interested in animals. I was born with a deep fascination for them that has only grown stronger as I’ve gotten older. This interest has led me to become a zookeeper. It’s the best job in the world because it allows me to work with animals every day and learn more about them.
