Cat Neutering
For filu, it's routine – gentle, safe, and tailored to you and your cat!
Why should you neuter your cat?
Health benefits
Neutering helps reduce the risk of uterine infections and lowers the chances of other hormonally driven tumors. As a result, the average lifespan of a neutered cat is generally longer.
Behavioral changes
Neutered cats often display calmer and more relaxed behavior as their sexual drive is reduced, though this isn't the case for every cat. Additionally, the likelihood of them running away and getting into dangerous situations decreases.
Prevention of unwanted offspring
Neutering helps control the cat population. It is especially important for outdoor cats and cats of different genders to prevent unwanted offspring.
Neutering your cat at filu
Reception
Our separate waiting areas for dogs and cats ensure that most of your furry friends feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. This way, your pet can start their visit with us in a relaxed and stress-free environment.
Anasthesia
The anesthesia is carefully tailored to your cat's specific needs. Throughout the procedure, we monitor them closely to ensure maximum safety at all times.
Neutering
This procedure involves the removal of the testicles. It is a quick and straightforward surgery, carried out in a sterile surgical environment to ensure the highest safety standards.
Aftercare
As your furry friend wakes up from anesthesia, we stay by their side to ensure they’re comfortable. Once they’re feeling better, they can return to you relaxed and calm. At home, aftercare includes checking the wound and preventing licking by using an Elizabethan collar, usually for about two weeks. During this time, it’s also important to keep your cat from jumping or being too playful.
Neutering Your Cat: Everything You Need to Know!
Possible Side Effects and Risks of Neutering
As with any surgery, there are risks such as infections or bleeding, but these are rare and can be effectively managed. Our team follows the highest hygiene standards and uses modern technology to minimize these risks. Weight gain can also occur after neutering, but with a balanced diet and playful exercise, you can keep your cat fit and healthy.
Myth or Truth: Neutering and Behavioral Changes
After neutering, many cats become more relaxed and often more affectionate. The restlessness caused by hormonal fluctuations tends to decrease. For some cats, this brings out a calmer, more clingy side.
Did you know? Neutering is especially important for outdoor cats!
Outdoor cats are often more likely to get involved in territorial fights and have unwanted litter. Neutering helps protect your cat from injuries and also contributes to reducing the number of stray animals.
Preventing Weight Gain After Neutering
After neutering, your cat’s metabolism changes, often leading to a slightly reduced energy requirement. To keep your furry friend fit and healthy, it’s a good idea to adjust their food portion. Opt for light, high-protein food and low-calorie treats. Combined with active playtimes and small daily adventures, your cat will stay lean and happy.
Why pet parents and furry friends love us
Great wonderful practice, super friendly staff, great vet who hasn't lost touch with the animal at all. Were there for an emergency on a Saturday evening and there was a special wait for us. Emphatic & competent — an absolute recommendation from the heart.
Starting with the easy parking facilities, you can look forward to very friendly and competent staff, as well as very clean and modern facilities. The long journey was worth it. humans and pets really feel at home here.
I have been with filu with my dog Zeus since he was a puppy and can heartily recommend this veterinary practice. Everyone there is very nice and friendly with the animals, whether they are vets or nurses. By the way, the practice is super clean and ultra-modern. Unfortunately, my dog had to have fairly invasive surgery early on as a puppy and everything worked out wonderfully there! Absolute recommendation, always happy to come back here.
I got an appointment for my dog at very short notice (as a new patient) because she wasn't feeling well at all. We were treated well and competently. In addition, this is the first vet where my dog was not afraid and even went to the treatment table of his own accord. We love staying patients here!
Thank you so much for the great experience. Online appointment scheduling is great. I was warmly welcomed and the rooms are beautiful and modern. The team treated my cat very well. I can recommend the practice:)
Best vet practice! Everyone is incredibly sensitive and friendly! Great feel-good atmosphere! I would recommend this practice to everyone. You always get an appointment super quickly and there are virtually no waiting times. Thank you for your great work, both vets and the team!
