Cattery Policies
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 Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. Required Before Adoption | All 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 Benefits | Early 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 Management | Spaying/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 Practices | The 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 Ownership | By 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 Fee | The spaying or neutering procedure is included in the adoption fee, along with other health care services like vaccinations, microchipping, and initial vet visits. |
