Cat Spay
and Neuter
Cat Spay and Neuter Services
Spaying and neutering your pet not only helps prevent unwanted litters — saving these pets from being one of the 125,000 cats and dogs euthanized in Texas shelters every year — but also can lessen the chance that your pet develops certain cancers, can reduce roaming and aggression, and increase your pet’s lifespan by 3-5 years.
TCAP also offers the humane sterilization of feral “wild” cats at our 8 DFW area flagship clinics in Allen, Arlington, Denton, Fort Worth, Hurst, Garland, Joshua and Weatherford.

Feral Fix Program: TCAP happily services feral cats at a discount.
If TCAP’s veterinarian determines a patient does not meet the minimum health requirements for services, the patient will be declined to ensure the patient’s health. Furthermore, due to special diagnostic and anesthetic needs, TCAP does not perform surgery or dental cleanings on blind or deaf pets, Persian cats, or their mixes. This declination of service is for a pet’s well-being and all patients above are referred to local, full-service hospitals for care.
All domestic feline spays and neuters are done by appointment only.
For feral cat sterilizations, please refer to our Feral Fix program.
- Drop-off is between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. and pick-up is at 3 p.m.
- Pets should not have any food or water after 10 p.m. the night before their surgery.
- All cats must arrive in separate, hard-sided carriers.
- Pain medications, antibiotics, and e-collars are available for purchase for an additional fee at the time of surgery. These are highly recommended, but not required.
- Pets must be at least 10-12 weeks old and weigh at least two lbs for surgery.
- Animals must be younger than five years old to obtain an appointment.
- TCAP veterinary staff may postpone the sterilization of cryptorchid cats, younger than 6 months old, to allow adequate time for testicles to descend.
- Lactating females will be rescheduled for a later date when they are no longer producing milk.
- Spay procedures terminate active pregnancies. TCAP does not have diagnostic equipment to verify if a pet is pregnant prior to a spay.
- All pets must be in good health and free of any pre-existing medical conditions to be sterilized at TCAP.
