At Purradox Sphynxery, my policy is that all kittens are spayed or neutered before adoption. Here’s a breakdown of the key points of this policy:

Policy AspectDetails
1. Required Before AdoptionAll kittens are spayed or neutered before they leave for their new homes. This procedure is performed by a licensed veterinarian when the kittens reach the appropriate age and weight.
2. Health BenefitsEarly spaying/neutering helps prevent health issues like reproductive cancers, uterine infections, and hormone-driven conditions. It contributes to the overall well-being of the kitten.
3. Behavior ManagementSpaying/neutering helps minimize undesirable behaviors such as spraying, aggression, and roaming. It supports a smoother transition and integration into their new home.
4. Ethical Breeding PracticesThe spaying/neutering policy is in place to maintain responsible and ethical breeding standards, ensuring that the kittens are adopted as pets, not for breeding purposes.
5. Promotes Responsible Pet OwnershipBy spaying or neutering before adoption, I help prevent unwanted litters and support the broader effort to reduce overpopulation and homelessness among pets.
6. Included in Adoption FeeThe spaying or neutering procedure is included in the adoption fee, along with other health care services like vaccinations, microchipping, and initial vet visits.
