Rescued cat - why didn't they spay?

I would have her spayed ASAP and deal with them later. You can then ask for
the spay fee back.

Hi there - I'm looking for some advice about a rescued cat and dealing
with the rescue group I got her from.


Have you called them to ask what is up?


I have - no response as of yet. I'm getting a bit desperate though.

Hi there - I'm looking for some advice about a rescued cat and dealing
with the rescue group I got her from.

They think she is a year old, and she and her kittens were rescued from
a kill-shelter into a foster home. I adopted the mom and was told that
she would be spayed right after adoption. Well I've had her for a month
- and no one from the group has contacted me with an spay appointment
time. The group has a set of vets that do the spay and it is included in
the adoption fee.

Now I believe the cat is going into heat - she has begun to pee in
inappropriate places and she is doing the rolling around on the floor. I
have not changed anything - no food changes, no litter changes.

Any advice?

TIA,

DC



As the others have said, your first priority should be to get the cat
spayed -- then deal with the rescue group (who have failed both you and the
cat). Check your paperwork to see if a spay/neuter certificate is included.
Also, please ask your vet to check for possible UTI -- just to make sure
that is not a problem, in addition to the immediate need to have her spayed.
In fact, she should have a complete medical exam if that has not already
been done.

Good luck with your new adoption. There are lots of people on this group
who will be happy to try to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you all for the advice. I will call tomorrow to see if I can get
her an appt. this week. I will also make sure to have a full check-up
done, I asked if she had seen a vet and the foster person said she
probably had when she was in the shelter but they hadn't taken her in
during the time they had her.

Should I keep her confined to the bathroom until then? I put her food
and litter in there and I've been checking on her every hour. She has
meowed and scratched a bit but I think she's sleeping. Her peeing on
the carpet has really gotten worse in the past day or so. Her litter box
is clean and I use corncob clumping litter with the Arm and Hammer
deodorizer sprinkled on top.

This is my first cat so I'm a bit nervous about the whole thing.

Thanks again,

DC

Well I've had her for a month

Do you have a contract number for the cat? Call the shelter and ask for
it....tell them you are taking the cat in to be fixed and need the number so
they can be billed.
Or, talk to the vet, tell them its a shelter kitty and you dont have the
contract number...if they do business with the shelter, they should know how to
go about billing them.

Good luck, Tracy
