Can I get help with having my cat
neutered?
We
strongly recommend the neutering of male and female cats that are not required
for breeding purposes. However, it is important to note that the vet
responsible for your cat will specify when they are prepared to carry out the
neutering operation (usually between four and six months of age). Your vet will
consider each case on its own merits.
Vouchers are available to the value of
£26 for females and £20 for males.
If you live in the
Cheltenham area (GL50, GL51, GL52, GL53 and Winchcombe GL54 4**) and fall into
