Kittens, Kittens, Kittens

Summer brings many, many stray cats and that means Kittens!!  We have rescued at least 5 litters so far this summer and I am happy to say that they are all getting good homes.  If we have the mother cat presented with the kittens , she is spayed as soon as her kittens are weaned and we will find her a good home also.  Our latest litter was picked up by animal control and brought to us last week.  The mother is a beautiful grey tabby with a sweet round face.  She was dehydrated and very hungry gobbling up loads of food as soon as it was offered.  Her kittens are 2 males and 2 females - grey and brown tabby.  They are about 3 weeks old, so will not be up for adoption for another few weeks.  Call our office if you are interested in adoption of any of our kittens or adult cats. 586-751-3350

Please, if you have cats, make sure they are spayed and neutered as this will help cut down on all the unwanted kittens.  Also, if you see stray cats near your home, please call animal control to get them picked up before they can breed and make more stray cats.  There are many charity organizations that work to spay and neuter stray cats free of charge for animal control.  Call our office and we will direct you to the appropriate organization.  Also, if you are looking to have your pet cat or dog spayed or neutered be sure to ask the veterinary hospital whether they do pre-surgical  blood panels to evaluate the surgical patient also IV catheters and fluids should be administered to your pet during the procedure. Be sure they have licensed veterinary technicians monitoring anesthesia during the surgery and a licensed veterinarian performing the surgery.  Some "low cost" veterinary clinics practice short-cut medicine so they can charge less, but this could be a danger to your pet.  If you need more information about spay and neuter surgery please call Warren Woods Veterinary Hospital at 586-751-3350.
