CANCELLATION POLICY: Cancellations done less than 48 hours prior to the morning appointment time will forfeit a $25 cancellation fee PER SURGERY. Cancellations done more than 48 hours in advance will forfeit a $5 cancellation fee PER SURGERY. Please plan to secure your cat(s) in live traps or house several days before your scheduled appointment in order to avoid cancellation fees.
KITTENS (AGE 6 -12 MONTHS) MUST BE FULLY VACCINATED PRIOR TO SURGERY-SEE FAQ PAGE ON WEBSITE FOR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS. ADULT CATS (OVER 12 MONTHS) ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE THEIR ONE YEAR BOOSTER VACCINE AT LEAST 3 WEEKS BEFORE THEIR SURGERY APPOINTMENT. ONLY FERAL CATS THAT CANNOT BE HANDLED ARE EXEMPT. This vaccine protects against three very common viruses (herpes, calici, panleukopenia) that cause symptoms ranging from upper respiratory infection to vomiting/diarrhea and very sadly to death. These viruses are found everywhere in the environment – they are outside your home and sometimes can be tracked into your home. We have made this a requirement due to the increase number of cases this year.
WE RECOMMEND YOU READ THE BEFORE SURGERY INSTRUCTIONS, AFTER SURGERY INSTRUCTIONS, AND SURGICAL CONSENT FORM FOUND ON THE FORMS PAGE OF THE WEBSITE FOR SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT FLEA TREATMENT, DISTEMPER VACCINATION AND PREGNANCY IMMEDIATELY UPON MAKING YOUR APPOINTMENT.
Baldwin Purple Cat 1570 10th Avenue Baldwin, WI **IMPORTANT NOTE: The Baldwin Purple Cat location is located behind the Feuerhelm Langer, LTD CPA building off of HWY 63 in Baldwin. GPS incorrectly takes you across the street to the Fire Department. Drop off between 8:00 AM and 9:30 AM, pick up at 3:00 PM Pick-up will be between 1 pm and 3 pm for most cats, some earlier and rarely some later. Please plan on picking up your cat by 3 pm. IMPORTANT CHANGE: Due to the high volume of out-of-town clients at our Baldwin location, we can no longer offer or guarantee early pick ups. We are very sorry for the inconvenience. Any cats scheduled for SPAY or NEUTER must be less than seven years old. BARN/FERAL does not have this requirement as it’s often hard to know their age. Please note that any cat over seven years old is considered a senior cat and should ideally have bloodwork done before any surgery to look for underlying diseases. We do not provide laboratory services at Purple Cat. All surgery prices include anesthesia and long-acting pain medication. Please review information on before and after surgery care. Fill out and bring a surgical consent form with you to your appointment–ONE PER CAT. Vaccines are optional and highly recommended and can be purchased the day of your appointment by CASH or CERTIFIED CHECK. Vaccines available:
- Distemper-$15. Covers many upper respiratory infections.
- Rabies-$20. Can only be administered to kittens over 12 weeks of age and they need to weigh at least 2.8 pounds.
SPECIAL NOTE ON NEUTER: Occasionally, male cats will be cryptorchid, which means one or both testicles have not descended into the scrotal sac. We try to locate the testicle(s) in the inguinal (groin) area in these situations. If we cannot find the testicle there, then the cat will require abdominal exploratory surgery. We often can perform this surgery for additional an cost.
SPECIAL NOTE ON BARN/FERAL: Cats in this category receive a MANDATORY EAR TIP on their left ear to mark them as sterilized. Ear tipping saves them the stress of being trapped again and being put under anesthesia a second time. Vaccines are included for all barn/feral surgeries.
SPECIAL NOTE ON PREGNANT CATS: Any cat found to be pregnant will be spayed, and the kittens aborted. Cats in early pregnancy will have a $20 fee added and cats in late pregnancy will have a $30 fee added that must be paid in CASH or CERTIFIED CHECK at the time of pick up.
OTHER SERVICES AVAILABLE DAY OF SURGERY: Must be paid in CASH or CERTIFIED CHECK. Purple Cat does not have a credit card machine at our locations. Price PER CAT:
- Nail trim $5
- Ear mite treatment $10
- Flea treatment $10
- Rabies vaccine $20
