Cat sterilization in Moldova

Cat sterilization (spaying/neutering) is a surgical operation to remove the reproductive organs, preventing unwanted pregnancy and balancing the animal's hormonal levels. Performing the procedure significantly reduces the risk of developing oncological diseases (including mammary tumors) and dangerous uterine pathologies (pyometra, endometritis).

Additionally, spaying relieves the pet from stress caused by heat cycles, eliminating loud calling, escape attempts, and territory marking inside the home.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age is it best to spay a cat?

The optimal age for surgery is between 7 and 9 months. It is recommended to spay the cat before its first heat or immediately after, once the body is fully developed.

What is the advantage of laparoscopic spaying?

The operation is performed through one or two micro-incisions measuring 3 to 5 mm. This minimizes tissue trauma, eliminates the need for bulky sutures, and ensures rapid recovery (the cat returns to normal life within 24–48 hours).

Does a cat need preparation before spaying?

Yes, the operation is performed under general anesthesia. Fasting for 8–10 hours and limiting water intake 2 hours prior to the procedure is required. A cardiac checkup is also recommended prior to anesthesia.

How long does recovery take after surgery?

With the traditional method, the full recovery period takes 7–10 days (until stitches are removed). With laparoscopy, the pet fully recovers within 1–2 days. During the healing period, wearing a protective suit (surgical onesie) is essential.
