Peninsula- Cat desexing event- Monthly- Nov

We’re excited to offer you a place at our low-cost cat desexing event to be held at our Peninsula Vet Clinic. The aim of this event is to make veterinary care more accessible to people and their pets. This program is funded by one of our generous donors.  For $50, you can get your cat desexed and microchipped by one of RSPCA Victoria's dedicated and experienced veterinarians.

• This event is available to community members who have a concession card- proof will be required on the day.  (If you do not have a concession card RSPCA also run a low-cost desexing program for $99 weekly.  See details on our website).

PLEASE NOTE- as a low-cost clinic we cannot provide post-operative care to your cat if complications arise.  If you have any concerns after surgery please contact or attend a local veterinary clinic or emergency centre at your own cost.  Closely following the post operative instructions will help minimise the risk of post surgery complications.

What you need to know:

• Cats must be over 1kg (at least 10 weeks of age) and under 8 years of age.
• Appointments must be booked online in advance and spaces are limited
• One ticket will be issued per individual cat and please select a male ticket for male cats and a female ticket for female cats to allow adequate time for the procedure. 
• We can assist with a maximum of two cats per household.
• There is a booking fee of $1.75.
• This event has a no refund policy.
• Please ensure all cats are secure in a carrier when dropped off and picked up from the clinic.

Important notes:

Please comply with staff instructions, which may include directions such as:

• Fasting your cat from 9pm the night before their surgery.
