Frequently Asked Questions

When should I spay or neuter my cat?

Most veterinarians recommend spaying/neutering at 4-6 months of age, before the first heat cycle. Some shelters and clinics perform the procedure as early as 8-12 weeks (pediatric spay/neuter), which is safe and allows early adoption.

Will my cat's personality change after spay/neuter?

Behavioral improvements include reduced spraying (90% of males stop), less roaming and fighting, reduced yowling (females in heat), and decreased aggression. Their core personality stays the same โ€” they'll still be playful and affectionate.

Why does cat spay / neuter cost different in Anchorage than other cities?

Anchorage's costs reflect local labor rates driven by the diversified economy, varied climate conditions that affect materials and scheduling, and moderate permitting requirements. The balanced labor market also influences competitive pricing.
