Schedule Cat Sterilization Surgery
- Call
946-2187 to schedule surgery.
- Surgery is limited to two cats per
person per day.
- Surgery guidelines are available here for preparing
your pet for surgery and care afterwards. Touch Surgery Guidelines
(PDF file) for this page of information.
- Humane cat traps
are available in the Incoming
Animals area, open 24 hours. Call 946-2187
to reserve a humane trap.
- Surgery
is performed seven days a week except holidays.
- Cats
must be brought to the Humane Society in a humane trap (one cat per trap).
Humane animal traps make it safter to handle the cats and there is less likelihood
of the cats injuring themselves or the handler. Touch Trap Instructions
(PDF file) for this page of information.
- Bring cats to the Incoming Animals
area at 2700 Waialae Avenue, between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. on the scheduled
day of surgery. Those brought in after 8 a.m. will be sterilized the
following day, if surgery space is available. Listen to the feral hotline message for up-to-date information: 946-2187
- Cats will
be examined to assess their health for
surgery. Caretakers will be notified immediately if cats
are not good surgery candidates.
- Absorbable
sutures will be used so there will not be a need to bring the cat back.
- Cats will be
ear-notched (to identify them as neutered).
- All cats in this program
must have microchip identification. ID can be
provided by the caretaker or purchased from the Society for $5 each when the cat is brought in for
surgery. ID will be applied at the Humane Society only when the cat
is under anesthesia.
- Fill out
the Agreement Form in advance or when you bring in the cat. Payment
for microchip identification is due at that time.
- Pick up
the cat on the day after surgery between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
