How long does a cat spay or neuter take?

Once the animal's prepped for surgery, we can have a cat spay done in less than 20 minutes. Cat neuters can usually be done in less than five minutes, but there's the prep time, surgery time, and then the post-op care. We pride ourselves on our post-op care, keeping your patient warm and pain-free, and monitoring them closely as they recover from the anesthesia.

A cat neuter typically takes about 5 to 10 minutes, while a spay may take 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the surgeon's skill.

On average, a cat neuter takes less than five minutes. When it comes to spaying a cat, we do have to go inside their tummy to get to their organs, so it does take a little bit longer, but on average it takes less than 15 minutes.
