Does my cat need spayed or neutered?
Well, that depends. If your cat is a female, she needs to be spayed. Your pet will be required to undergo general anesthesia for this procedure. A spay, also known as an ovariohysterectomy, is a surgical procedure in which both ovaries and the uterus are removed.
