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.

What do I do now?

Name, age and sex of cat
