We advise that you neuter your cats once they reach sexual maturity, but there are also benefits for your cat's health and for you as a pet owner.
Why should I Neuter My Cat?
Non-neutered cats - particularly toms - are susceptible to a number of conditions including; cat bite abscesses, Feline immunodeficiency virus (cat AIDS) and Feline leukaemia virus
What is Spaying?
This is the process of neutering female cats, both their uterus and ovaries are removed. The procedure is usually performed at 5 - 6 months of age. Advantages include preventing unwanted pregnancies; unwanted visits from tom cats and pyometra which is a life-threatening infection of the uterus.
What is Castrating?
This is how we neuter male cats - or toms - by removing their testicles. Again, the process is usually performed at 5 - 6 months of age. Advantages include preventing unwanted pregnancies, the tendency to roam, "spraying" urine to mark their territory and the spread of disease through fighting.

How much will my pet’s treatment cost?
The treatment cost for your pet can vary depending on the service provided. You can request an estimate before any treatment is provided to your pet.
Will my pet insurance cover the costs of treatment?
Having a good pet insurance policy allows you to concentrate on what’s best for your pet while knowing help is there for the cost of unexpected treatment should they become ill or are injured. The type of policy you choose can have implications for the costs you will face so it’s important to choose the right cover.
The four main types of policy are as follows:
- Accident: provides cover for accidents only and no cover for illness
- Time-Limited: provides cover for a set amount of time (usually 12 months) and after this period the condition is excluded
- Maximum Benefit: provides cover up to a maximum amount of money per condition and once this limit is reached the condition is excluded
- Lifetime: provides a set amount of money each year which is refreshed each time you renew your policy allowing you to continue to claim for ongoing conditions
