In addition to surgeries, we also provide wellness & preventative, dental and urgent care for your cat or kitten.

This is the cost of a spay plus half the cost of a neuter. This occurs when your pet’s testicle(s) has not fully descended into the scrotal sac and one or more remain in the abdomen.
Caesarian Section
$660 to $1,430 depending on complexity, plus the cost of a spay. We only perform emergency C-sections and we require the patient to be spayed at the same time.
Cardboard Carrier
We offer cardboard carriers for your use before and after surgery. Being in an enclosed, protected environment helps your pet feel safe.
Cystotomy
This is stone removal from the bladder. We highly recommend stone analysis, urine culture and sensitivity testing as well.
Ear Hematoma Drainage
Blood fills the two layers of cartilage that make up the ear flap and must be drained out. Typically occurs secondary to infection, shaking head, or trauma.
Ectropion/Entropion
Corrective eyelid surgery when eyelids either turn inwards or outwards excessively and create problems for the pet. Price is $100 for each additional lid.
Enucleation

Foreign Body Removal

Laceration Repair

Limb Amputation
$1,600 to $2,400 depending on complexity. Limb amputation for your cat may be recommended because of cancer, severe trauma, or a birth defect which has resulted in a useless limb.
Mass Removal
Consultation with our veterinarian needed to provide cost estimate. With a mass removal, we highly recommend a histopathology analysis as well.
Neuter
Safe and affordable neutering for cats of all ages and sizes. Patients will receive a small abdominal tattoo at no charge. This tattooing is the universally accepted method to identify a neutered animal.
Pain Medication
Pain medications used during surgery and 3 days take-home medication for pain and inflammation are included at no additional fee. *Not a sedative.
Required with Surgery
Pelleted Recycled Newspaper Litter
We sell recycled newspaper pellets for a cat litter substitute. Regular cat litter may get into the cat’s neuter incision and cause problems.
Pregnancy

Spay
Safe and affordable spaying for cats of all ages and sizes. Female cats will receive a small abdominal tattoo at no charge. This tattooing is the universally accepted method to identify a spayed cat.

Toe Amputation
Surgically removing a toe to treat some severe conditions, traumas, fractures and deformities, when other remedies fail. Your pet can live pain-free while compensating well without the affected toe.
