Declawing Kittens

Declawing surgeries are done by appointment Monday thru Thursday and should be brought in between 8:00am-10:00am.  The kitten will stay with us two nights to allow MAH staff to care for the paws post surgically.  We require that you call before picking up the kitten after surgery to make sure they are ready to go home.  Please do not feed your animal the morning you are bringing them in for surgery.  Only a small amount of food and water should be given to the kitten the day he/she is taken home.

Spaying or Castrating Kittens

At the second vaccination, your kitten is old enough to be spayed/castrated.  Surgeries are done by appointment Monday thru Thursday and should arrive here between 8:00am-10:00am.  The kitten will stay with us overnight.  We require that you call before picking up the kitten the day after surgery to make sure it is ready to go home.  Females return 7-10 days after surgery to get stitches removed.  Please do not feed your animal the morning you are bringing it in for surgery.  Only a small amount of food and water should be given to the kitten the day he/she is taken home. Kittens must have vaccinations before being spayed/castrated.

Kittens in the clinic with a flea problem will be treated.

Kittens may be declawed and spayed/castrated at the same time.
