Common Questions About Cat Spay & Neuter Surgery in Phoenix, AZ:
What is the cost to spay or neuter a cat in Phoenix, AZ?
Our pricing is designed to be accessible and all-inclusive:
- Spay (female): $95 for cats under 6 months, $105 for cats 6 months and older
- Neuter (male): All cat neuters are $75

At what age should a cat be spayed or neutered?
Trap/Neuter/Release (TNR), feral, and shelter/rescue kittens can safely be spayed or neutered as early as 8 weeks old, as long as they weigh at least 2 pounds. For owned cats, we require kittens to be at least 16 weeks old and weigh at least 2 pounds to maximize their comfort and safety. It is recommended that cats be spayed or neutered between 4 and 5 months of age, as this has been shown to be the optimal age to maximize health benefits and minimize the risk of unwanted litters. Kittens can become fertile as young as 4 months of age. Because of this, SNiP Vet is a proud supporter of the Feline Fix by Five Initiative, along with the American Veterinary Medical Association, ASPCA, United Spay Alliance, American Animal Hospital Association, National Kitten Coalition, and other veterinary professional organizations.
What are the benefits of spaying or neutering a cat?
There are many reasons to choose sterilization:
- Prevents unwanted pregnancies and reduces overpopulation
- Minimizes behaviors like spraying or roaming
- Lowers the risk of serious health issues, including certain cancers and infections
- Supports TNR efforts in Phoenix, improving community health and safety
What should I expect before and after my cat’s spay/neuter surgery?
Before surgery:
- Withhold food after midnight the night before
- Bring your cat in during your assigned morning drop-off time
- Use a secure carrier
After surgery:
- Pick up your cat in the afternoon after they recover from anesthesia
- Keep them calm and limit activity for 5–7 days
- Monitor the surgical site and follow all home care instructions provided
Are there walk-in spay and neuter services for cats?
For owned cats, we require an appointment to ensure safety and preparation.
If you’re helping with community cats, we offer walk-in TNR services for 1–2 cats between 8:30–8:45 AM, Monday–Friday. If you plan to bring 3 or more cats, please call ahead so we can accommodate your group.
How long is the recovery time for a spayed or neutered cat?
Most cats recover fully within 7–10 days. For best results:
- Limit activity for at least 5-7 days
- Female cats should wear an e-collar or recovery suite for at least 7 days to prevent licking
- Follow all post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing
