Hey guys! I just want to know if anyone of you knows any cheap place to get my cat spayed? I'm currently jobless and doesn't have budget but I feel really sorry for my cat. She was given to me as a gift and she's in heat every other week!

Any recommendations is appreciated! Thanks! :)

In all honesty, it's best for your cat to wait until she is off heat. The ovaries and uterus blood vessels are engorged. These tissues may tear and bleed more than usual.
Not only will it cost you more money while she's on heat, it is more stressful on her and carries additional risks of bleeding during and post op.
You'll just have to persevere.

I dont suggest it highly, but I suggest it if you really cant afford to fix your cat here. A female really is miserable if she is locked up during her cycle. There are vets in sharjah who around the animal market who will do that for more then half that, for a westerner. If you have an arabic person take your cat, it will be less. I dont know exactly the cost, but everything I get over that way is usually about 50% cheaper then Dubai in the way of medicine. I highly suggest you NOT to go into the animal marker. It is miserable and a terrible experience. Literally have seen dead cats in the cages in the shops.

Call Modern Vets on Al Wasel Road. They do a package for vaccination, worming, etc., which I am sure comes in at under AED 500 and I imagine the spaying would be around the same - the number is 04 395 3131. The other clinic to try is Al Safa. Don't know their number. Is the cat chipped? If not, that could also be why the original quote was so much.

Hi! :) I heard vets section in Dubai Municipality is very cheap, but not that professional. But if it's only vaccination and microchip, then I guess it's okay? I gave them a call and it's only 220aed (vaccination, microchip and tag). For spaying, I inquired at Nad Al Sheba clinic. It's around 440aed but I don't know if it includes the extras charges. I guess the DM plus Nad Al sheba is the cheapest choice?

The good thing with nad al sheba is they can spay my cat even if she's not vaccinated yet unlike abvc. She is always in heat so it's better to be spayed asap. I'll call the modern vets to see if they are cheaper. Thanks!

Well, I don't know how you think you are helping an animal by maiming him! and then you call me the worst type of people, that's really laughable.

I rescued kittens before, so don't tell me nonsense. Look in the eyes of a frustrated cat because of its neutering/spaying and you will know how horrible it is, that's if you can feel cats any bit!

"starve, dehydrate, die a slow painful death " !!

And how can you be so sure that this will happen? at least the cat has a better chance living a free wholesome life outdoors than living a painful frustrated life locked inside. Do you think you can remove the desire from a cat's head by such an operation?!

I understand that some of you have a good intention, but well rethink about it perhaps you may reach the same conclusion as mine.

KNOW THE FACTS!

Male Castration (Geld)

1-Anesthesia is administered.
2-The Dog is prepped for surgery.
3-An incisio6-n is made in the skin in front of the scrotum.
4-The testicle is pushed forward and an incision is made in the subcutaneous tissue just big enough to squeeze it through
5-The tunics layer of tissues are incised to expose the testicle and associated structures.
6-The blood supply for the testicle is pulled out, sutured, and cut.
7-Each testicle is removed and the sutured tissues which once led to them are pushed back through the incision.
8-The two layers of tissues are sutured to close the incision.
9-A pain medication is injected and the Dog is taken to recover

-------------

Female Castration (Spay)

1-Anesthesia is administered.
2-The ***** is prepped for surgery.
3-A 3-5 inch incision is made in the abdomen, near the umbilicus, through three layers of tissue.
4-A spay hook or finger is used to pull a uterine horn through the abdominal incision.
5-The uterine horn is followed into the body cavity in order to locate the ovary.
6-Three clamps are used to prevent the blood supply to the ovary from hemorrhaging and the ovary blood supply is cut.
7-Sutures are applied to the ends of the blood supply and it's allowed to slip back into the abdomen.
8-Procedures 4 through 7 are repeated for the other ovary.
9-The extracted ovaries are used to pull the cervix out of the abdomen.
10-A clamp is placed at the cervix, the uterus is cut, and the ovaries and most of the uterus are removed.
11-The remaining portion of the uterus is sutured and placed back into the abdomen.
12-The three layers of tissues are sutured and the abdomen is closed.
13-A pain medication is injected and the ***** is taken to recovery.

I agree that he has some eccentric ideas like the gaya stuff, but well I tend to go with the facts he post based on personal experience.

But this page it has the same information in a more balanced way, for and against, and with a complete list of references www(dot)skeptvet(dot)com/index(dot)php?p=1_23_Benefits-Risks-of-Neutering

Not neutering animals if you have no intention of breeding from them is the height of irresponsibility!

Neutered animals generally live longer, healthier lives - FACT!

Yes neutering takes away the urge because reproductive hormones are no longer produced - FACT!

FACT - a female cat can be responsible for 420,000 kittens during her lifetime. From reproductive age they can have litters between 1 and 8 kittens, a female cat can reproduce every 6 months - scary figures.

I don't believe these facts, do you have solid references for them? I tend to believe my own experience more, and I have never seen a cat giving birth to 420,000 kittens ! I think nature has its own way to control the population and even if we had to interfere there must be better more humane ways of doing it.
 
#36 · (Edited)
They are FACTS! I used to work at a vets and am actively involved in animal rescue, so I think I know exactly what I'm talking about!

I said a female cat is responsible for that number - that means she gives birth to so many, then each of her offspring etc, not ONE cat giving birth to that many.

Here you go! FACTS!!!!!!

In reply to the OP, many vets offer a discount if the cat is a rescue, so ask about that.

It does no harm for cats to be kept in. I have two, one I've had since he was 6 weeks old and he's traveled round the world with me, he used to be a farm cat and a right roamer, disappearing for weeks, now he's happy to lounge about all day doing nothing and has zero interest in going outside.

My other cat was sadly dumped by her owner who just never came back from holiday whilst she was a pet sit - she's geriatric and old, but what a great personality she has.

Consider this, the average cat has a roaming area of around 5 square miles! They're very territorial, put lots of cats in a small area and what do you get? Many fights, a population explosion and disaster.

well don't trust all vets, one of them once told me, mating is very cruel in cats, and he started describing what an awful brutal process it is! he was trying to convince me to neuter the kitten I rescued, that was sick, I guess for him it's just business.
