Spay incision does this look ok for day 13?

That looks quite red for 13 days, so I would suggest either calling your vet and making an appointment, or sending them a copy of that picture to get their opinion.

Just for reference, there's some pics of normal and infected spay incisions in this TCS article.

Z ZsuzsiCica : Just wondering if you were able to check with your vet about your girl's spay incision?

 

[ZsuzsiCica]

Hi there! Thank you for the reply!
I did reach out to my normally awesome vet.
However as I did take kitty to the SPCA, instead of the vet, my vet declined seeing us for this. They asked we get the records for the spay first.
I called the SPCA last night and also sent email w photo. I called this morning and the nurse told me not to worry, looks ok but to come in tomorrow to check and make sure.
Kitty may need antibiotics.

I'm also wondering if the fact she is 1yrs old and not a kitten per se, makes a difference in how fast she's healing??

I don't think her age would make that much difference, but honestly don't really know. Glad you're getting her checked out. Hopefully it's fine, but best to err on the side of caution.

Ok just came back from SPCA where the initial surgery was done. They cleaned the site up and and it does look much better. It is healing well so we did not need antibiotics . Told me to keep cone until Tuesday and then send pic to get the ok to go ahead and take it off.
She won't let me take a pic just yet but I might post one from today later on

Glad you got her checked out. And good she didn't need antibiotics.
Sending vibes that it continues to heal well over the weekend, and that you'll be able to take off the cone on Tuesday.

Z ZsuzsiCica : Just thought of you and your cat. How are things now?

Much better thank you! We went back on Tuesday as the second picture I sent them also resulted in the vet tech to tell me to come in. This picture attached is from today. I am keeping the cone on for more time as I do not want to risk it but looks much better

 

[rubysmama]

Oh, yeah, looks much, much better.

Right? I think I may have been just overly cautious but I feel better about it

I wouldn't say you were overly cautious. It's always best to err on the side of caution, especially with our fur babies.
