Got outdoor cats?

  • Friendly outdoor cats (tame, pettable, can be placed in a carrier) should be scheduled online.​​

    • We're booking ~1-2 weeks out. Call if cats are pregnant and can't wait that long. 

  • Walk-in feral cats in live traps may come one at a time, Monday-Thursday.

    • NO WALK-INS ON FRIDAYS. 

    • Walk-in appointments are for feral (un-handleable, wild) cats only. Tame cats arriving as walk-ins may be sent home and scheduled for a later date. 

    • We strongly suggest calling our office a few days before you begin trapping to verify days of operation. On days one or both vets are absent we will not accept walk-in cats.

  • If you'd like to trap multiple cats for the same surgery day, call us for appointment availability. 

​

​Cancellation/no-show policy: If you cannot make it to your appointment, PLEASE let us know at least 2 business days in advance so that we can fill your appointment with another needy cat. Prepayments will be required for all clients with prior no-show appointments.​​​​​​​
