Procedure Info

The evening before and the day of the surgery:

  • The evening before (Sunday) the clinic food should be withheld at 10 pm but water should always be available. The morning of the clinic you should feed your pet 1/4 of their normal breakfast.
  • Water should be available at all times. 
  • If your cat is indoor/outdoor or always outdoor, you should keep the cat indoors the day before the clinic.

On the day you’ve signed up your cat or dog for the surgery (always a Monday), you will bring your animal to Center Community Center, 1300 Grapevine Rd, Marshall 28753 between 6:45 to 7:30 am.

  • Dogs should be on a leash and cats in a carrier. 
  • Please ONLY bring cats in secure plastic crates; check all hardware to make sure crate or door cannot accidentally open.
  • We will supply the cat carrier if you need one.  
  • Bring your rabies certificate the morning of drop off if you have it. Otherwise your pet will receive a rabies vaccination at the time of surgery.
  • Pickup of your pet after surgery is on TUESDAY between 10:30 to 11:30 am

Important Info

All dogs and cats must meet the minimum age and weight requirements for the surgeries. For cats the minimum age is 3 months and the minimum weight is 3 lbs. For dogs the minimum age is 3 months, and the minimum weight is 3 lbs., but could vary depending on breed. Be sure to ask when making an appointment for a puppy.

Let us know if your pet needs: 

  • Any vaccinations at the time of surgery
  • Microchip for $10.00
  • Free nail trim
  • 1-year rabies shot for free – for animals without current vaccine
  • Any animal scheduled for surgery must discuss current medications so we can check with ASNA to see how to proceed depending on the medication.
  • You must let us know if your pet has any food allergies since they feed them the evening of surgery – but owners can bring special food and meds when they get to s/n for drop-off.
  • Please ONLY bring cats in secure plastic crates; check all hardware to make sure crate or door cannot accidentally open.

If your pet has an up-to-date rabies vaccination please bring the paper certificate (not the tag) for proof of a rabies shot.
