Frequently Asked Questions
Can my pet eat the morning of surgery? No food after midnight the night before surgery but a small amount of water is fine. There is one exception, if you have a kitten weighing 3-4 lbs. they can have 1/4 of their regular meal before 6:00 a.m. on the morning of surgery.
What time will I drop off my pet for surgery? Please arrive between 7:30 AM and 7:45 AM for cats and 8:00 AM -8:15 AM for dogs.
How old does my pet need to be for surgery? Cats must weigh a minimum of 3 lbs. and dogs need to be 4-months-old. However, you should consult with your primary veterinarian to see if your pet is ready for surgery. Spay Arkansas does not do surgery on pets older than 7 years old.
Do untouchble/feral cats receive an ear tip? Yes, no exceptions.
Good Health Requirements
For the safety of every animal in our care, all pets must be in good health prior to surgery. Each pet will receive a physical examination by one of our veterinarians before surgery. Spay Arkansas reserves the right to decline surgery if a pet is determined to be at increased medical risk.
If your pet is showing any signs of illness before their appointment, please contact us to reschedule.
Please note: due to increased anesthetic risks, we are unable to perform surgery on brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds, including Pugs, Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, Bullmastiffs, and similar breeds.
To request your appointment, you are required to pay a deposit amount of $20 for cats and $65 for dogs. In the event you do not show up for your appointment, this deposit will be forfeited to our clinic. This deposit is non-refundable but applied to services at the appointment. No shows cause severe financial damage to our charity. Thank you!
Appointments may be fully booked at this time. If no availability is shown, please check back later for openings.
