Hello, I know the clinic here says release spayed (female) cats in 12-24 hours after surgery. How long does everybody else here hold the cat to recover?
The reason I ask is because I had a feral cat spayed several weeks ago and honestly I never saw her again after I released her. Maybe she wasn’t one of the cats who hangs around my house, but it’s hard for me to tell because I have at least 2+ feral tuxedos that eat from my porch. They run when they see me so I can only really see them from our security camera. One tuxedo will come watch me put out the food every morning but it’s not the cat I spayed since there is no eartip.
Anyway I kept the spayed cat for two nights in my garage following surgery because it had been rainy outside. But my clinic only suggested 24 hours. Since I never see her around, my worst fear is that she died of infection or anything related to the surgery.
There are 5-6 cats total eating from my porch and I plan to continue trapping them and getting them fixed. One is surely in heat and is already trying to attract a particular male, and it’s only January!
I purchased a holding recovery cage from trucatch but it doesn’t look like it will ship anytime soon. This will let me keep the cat at least a few days more comfortably.
I can’t bring any cats in the house and they are not friendly at all. What would you recommend for female recovery time?
