Neutering

Our FREE neutering service is only for those who have joined our TEAM with a valid Team card, who are known to us as caretakers/feeders of STRAYS.
We have highlighted the word strays, because our Charity's aim is to help animals living on the streets, that have not been fortunate enough to find an owner. We love all animals, but feel that they are the ones that need our help most.

Treatment

We give them the best possible treatment. We have introduced animal friendly procedures like keyhole surgery, minimizing stress on the animals. The keyhole procedure reduces to the bare minimum the size of the surgical cut ( in a female cat it is less than 1cm and as such is closed using only one stitch), giving less postoperative discomfort to the animal, faster healing (especially desirable considering that the vast amount of animals we neuter are strays and therefore go back to the streets almost immediately), and less possibility of stitches opening up. Cats are given an intravenous antibiotic shot which lasts for the 4-5 days that the cat's wound is still healing, therefore the cat will not need any oral antibiotics enabling feeders to concentrate on other aspects of their colony's welfare. Happy Dog/Cat In the clinic we use wet and dry food from Happy Dog and Happy Cat and their multi-vitamin supplements. 

For dogs, we also use  a gaseous anaesthetic system, similar to normal human hospitals, along with intravenous general anaesthetic in order to be able to better control the depth of the anaesthesia, making sure that the animals stay completely under for as long as is needed and to ensure that the animal does not wake up during anaesthesia and that the whole procedure is completely pain free. We also have an extensive monitoring system which monitors heart rate, ECG, breathing rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen concentration so that the veterinary surgeon can be alerted immediately to any change in the patient's condition and enable him/her to react accordingly. The animal also goes home with a long lasting painkiller injection which avoids postoperative pain.
