Our mobile clinic is equipped with three operating stations and enables us
to offer clinics throughout Oregon.
What a sight! After the cats are
checked-in they await surgery. All traps and carriers are covered to keep the
cats calm.
These two handsome felines nervously
await their turn for surgery. Soon they'll be returned to their caregivers.
Cats awaiting surgery are transported to
the anesthesia room, the rear door of the mobile hospital, 4-5 at a time. Once
anesthetized, each cat receives a pain relief injection and is passed to the
prep area.
In the prep area, cats are prepped for
surgery and male cats are neutered.
All cats' ears are tipped so that they
can be identified as having already participated in the clinic.
Three veterinarians can spay cats
simultaneously in our surgical suite. All veterinarians who participate in our
program volunteer their time.
In Post-op, the cats have
their temperature taken, their anesthesia recovery is continuously
monitored, they are flea combed & flea sprayed, they are kept
warm, and are given fluids as needed.
All cats are monitored until they are
fully awake and are then sent home with their caregiver.
