Title: Female cat neutering. Recommend surgeon. Middlesex
Post by: maxima on January 14, 2007, 22:54:41 PM

Hi All

our cat is 7 months old. We would like to find a special Vet surgeon. This not because is something wrong with the cat. But we had a very bad experience with vets before. We live in Harrow but prepared to travel. Price is not an obstacle.

If you know someone who is a real cat specialist who does surgery for years and have a great reputation - could you please post his/her name here with a little story to let us justify (dont want to be rude but people sometime promote themselves in the internet).

Thank you

 :welcome: to Purrs.

You wont find any vets on here promoting themselves they would be too darn scared to say they were a vet cos we would bombard them with questions  ;D

I am sure if anyone lives in that area and can recommend them , they will.

Absolutely, a bit like if you are a doctor on holiday or out for the night, if someone says what do you do you say I am a lavatory cleaner.

You could try looking in a cat mag or on the web for (reputable) breeders in your area, and ask some of them which vet they recommend. Breeders may not have their cats spayed but a vet that is good at other ops etc should be good at spaying too.

Another place to ask is a small local pet shop................not Pets at Home!! They have their own vets service I believe.

Hello I am in Harrow too. Have you tried Barnfield House Vets? We use them now after moving from Medivet in South Harrow who we were unimpressed with...
