What to Expect Before and After Surgery
When your cat arrives for surgery, our team ensures a calm transition into care. Cats are checked in and placed in a quiet, comfortable space with warm towels and feline-friendly products like Feliway® to reduce anxiety. Lowering stress levels before and after surgery contributes to a smoother recovery process.
Following the procedure, your cat is closely monitored by a dedicated surgical nurse during recovery. We’ll provide detailed at-home care instructions and remain available to answer any follow-up questions.

Comprehensive Anesthetic Protocols
Safety is our highest priority. Prior to surgery, Dr. Marcus conducts a thorough physical exam and pre-anesthetic blood testing to confirm your cat is ready for anesthesia. We use a gas anesthetic known for its safety and quick reversibility.
During surgery, each patient receives:
- An IV catheter and fluid therapy
- Continuous monitoring by a skilled veterinary assistant/registered veterinary technician (RVT)
- Advanced equipment to track heart rate, oxygen levels, blood pressure, and body temperature
Our strict protocols help reduce risk and promote better recovery outcomes.
Dedicated Surgical Suite
Our hospital features a sterile, feline-only surgical suite used exclusively for procedures. Equipped with thermal blankets, modern anesthesia machines, and monitoring systems, this space supports clean, efficient surgeries and minimizes the risk of infection.
Focused Pain Management
Pain relief is an essential part of surgical care. We implement a multimodal pain management strategy that may include:
- Anti-inflammatory medications
- Local anesthetics
- Opioids or other pain-relieving drugs
- General anesthesia
