The range of surgeries that we offer includes:
Spays and Neuters
Spaying or neutering your cat is a vital part of responsible pet ownership. These common procedures help prevent unwanted litters and reduce the risk of health issues such as cancer and infections. With minimal invasiveness, these surgeries typically involve a quick recovery and ensure your cat’s long-term well-being.
Mass Removals and Tumor Surgery
If your cat has a mass, whether benign or malignant, removing it can prevent health complications. We offer comprehensive surgical options to excise tumors and ensure that any potential for malignancy is addressed early. Our team uses advanced surgical methods and attentive aftercare to ensure the best possible recovery.
Abdominal Surgery for Internal Health
Abdominal surgeries may be necessary when your cat has organ issues or internal injuries. Whether it’s a splenectomy or treatment for gastrointestinal obstructions, we ensure your cat’s safety with high-quality anesthesia and precise surgical techniques. The goal is to help your cat recover comfortably and restore normal function.
Bladder Stone Removal
Bladder stones can cause significant discomfort and urinary tract issues. If your cat suffers from bladder stones, surgical removal may be required. We perform this procedure to address blockages and prevent further complications, such as infections, helping restore your cat’s comfort and urinary function.
Foreign Body Surgery
Cats often swallow objects that can become lodged in their digestive system, causing blockages or other issues. Foreign body surgery is performed to safely remove these objects. Our team uses advanced techniques and close monitoring to ensure a successful procedure and recovery.
Orthopedic Surgery Referrals
For orthopedic procedures such as hip or knee surgeries, we refer to Dr. Moody, an experienced orthopedic surgeon. After a consultation, we can arrange for Dr. Moody to perform these specialized surgeries right here at our clinic, ensuring your cat receives care in a familiar setting.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Your Cat’s Surgery
Before the Procedure
Before surgery, we begin with a comprehensive exam to assess your cat's overall health. Depending on the type of surgery, additional tests such as blood work or imaging may be necessary to ensure your cat is fit for anesthesia. We'll provide clear instructions, including fasting requirements, to prepare your cat properly for the procedure.
During the Procedure
Our veterinary team uses advanced methods for every surgical service for cats to maintain your cat's safety. Throughout the surgery, we closely monitor their vital signs and implement effective pain management protocols to ensure they remain comfortable. Every step of the procedure is carefully planned and executed for optimal results.
After the Procedure
Recovery is a critical phase, and we provide you with detailed aftercare instructions for your cat’s incision site, pain management, and signs to look out for during healing. Our team will check in to monitor their progress and ensure everything is healing smoothly and as expected.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your cat shows signs of chronic pain, difficulty moving, unexplained lumps, or sudden behavioral changes, it may be time for surgery. An evaluation will help determine if surgery is necessary to improve your cat’s quality of life.
After surgery, it’s normal for your cat to feel a bit anxious or disoriented. Keep them in a quiet, familiar environment, and follow your vet’s instructions for medication and care to help them feel secure during recovery.
We recommend waiting at least 10-14 days before bathing your cat to allow their incision site to heal properly. Wetting the area can introduce bacteria and delay recovery, so follow your vet’s advice for proper care.
Excessive licking can cause infection or delay healing. If your cat is constantly licking the incision site, use an Elizabethan collar (e-collar) or consult your vet for alternative solutions to prevent irritation.
Preventing your cat from jumping can be challenging, but restricting their activity during recovery is essential. You can limit access to high surfaces or use a crate during the healing process to keep them calm and minimize movement.
If your cat pulls out their stitches, it could result in infection or delayed healing. Contact us immediately if you notice missing stitches or signs of the incision opening. We’ll assess the situation and ensure proper treatment.
