Subject: Query on Cat Spaying
Judy
We own a 6 month old female ragdoll kitten/ cat and we
were wondering whether it is time to have her spayed.
Our cat has had her early vaccinations performed by Dr
Teo E-Shen, Jason at the Toa Payoh surgery when she
lived with her previous owner.
Can you advise whether neutering is recommended? Being
a ragdoll she is not allowed to roam outside, but we
don't plan on using her for breeding. I assume it is
best for her to be spayed? How much notice do you need
to give you so she can be booked in for the operation?
How much does it cost?
Many thanks for your help.

I am Dr Sing from Toa Payoh Vets. To spay or not to spay a female cat is your personal decision. Most Singapore owners spay their female cats because they cannot stand the loud meowing (caterwauling) which can be a noise nuisance.
For animal welfare activists, all female cats and dogs ought be spayed to prevent unwanted pregnancies and the increasing stray, abandoned and wanted population in animal shelters.
We usually need one day's notice. No food and water to be given to the cat at 8 p.m on the night before spaying. Total cost is estimated to be around S$100.00
