About Surgery
College Station Cat Clinic provides a wide variety of surgical procedures ranging from routine neutering to more advanced orthopedic and soft tissue procedures. We schedule procedures Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at our hospital. We schedule our clients to check in their cats the morning of surgery to allow time for pre-anesthetic blood testing and identify any potential risk prior to the procedure. Each cat receives a pre-anesthetic sedative approximately 30 minutes prior to anesthesia and the start of the procedure.
