Requirements

For your cat to qualify for our Barn Buddies program, they must meet
ALL the below requirements:

• Must be an outdoor cat

• At least 12 weeks old

• Weighs at least 2, preferably 3, pounds. Patients weighing less then 3 pounds will not receive a rabies vaccine.

• Not a nursing mother.  Nursing mothers will not be accepted until after the kittens are weaned and off of mom for at least two weeks. This gives mother’s milk an opportunity to subside. If the mother cat is too full of milk when she is presented to the surgery clinic she will be sent home. We are unable to make a surgical incision through milk glands, as this will almost certainly cause a serious infection.

• Must be healthy. Our vet reserves the right to deny services for any animal they feel is not healthy enough to have surgery. If the animal is found to be sick and unable to undergo surgery we will call you. A prompt pick up is expected, as we do not want to expose other cats to illnesses.

Note: Any cat that is up to date on vaccines or is on medication must come to the clinic with the appropriate vet records.
