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. For $99, you can get your cat desexed and microchipped by one of RSPCA Victoria's dedicated and experienced veterinarians.

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.
If your female cat is feeding kittens we cannot desex her until the kittens are weaned. Kittens can be weaned from 8 weeks of age. Please make sure all kittens are able to eat on their own before booking your cat's desexing.
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.
If you’re unsure about the gender of your cat or kitten, please book a female slot as a precaution.
We can assist with a maximum of two cats per household.
There is a booking fee of $2.98.
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.
