CatSnip Feline Spay/Neuter Clinic

I give one star because the website is misleading in regards to pricing.
The pricing section of the website claims the following:
«Kitten Package Plus — Includes Kitten Package plus Microchip ($ 210 value) $ 150″
You can find the above quote here:
My girlfriend and I set up an appointment for the Kitten Package Plus. The veterinarian was checking people in. You have to drop off your pet by 8:00 AM and pick it up later in the afternoon. Check-​in was chaotic. The line was nearly out the door, mostly with people bringing stray cats in cages.
You have to pay upfront. When we went to pay, the veterinarian tried charging us $ 210, or the ticket price for each item we asked for. We quoted the website for the ‘Kitten Package Plus.» He said, «oh ya» and then wanted to charge us $ 200, claiming a $ 50 ‘surgery fee.’ The website does not mention this fee. Feeling pressure from the long line of people behind us, we paid and became suckers.
Because our kitten was small, he couldn’t receive all his shots in one sitting, meaning we had to return for a follow up appointment in a month. Our second encounter was not much of an improvement. We asked if he had installed the micro chip, but he (the same veterinarian) couldn’t tell us because the scanner was broken. We still aren’t sure if they implanted the microchip, even though we paid for it.
In sum, I recommend taking stray cats here for their shots and to get snipped. I do not recommend taking your pet.

OK, this place is really not expensive. But after having gone through the experience with my first cat in Dallas, I would have chosen a full-​price vet if I could go back in time.
First of all my cat came back with a normal midline abdomen incision AND a really huge side (flank) incision. Half of the left side of the cat was shaven. I had another cat go through the process when I lived in NY years ago and when we got him neutered we didn’t have a side incision. Well, I looked it up online and saw that sometimes vets use a flank incision with a cat that is overweight, nursing or a feral cat of which my cat is none. When you pick up your pet nobody is giving you an explanation. They know they are inexpensive and they behave as such. There is no explanation about what to do post surgery. You can’t call them and talk to a live person. You can only call and leave a message and they’ll get back to you when and if they wish.
Moreover, when I was reading more on the internet, I saw that some vets (especially low cost ones) may leave the uterus and remove just the ovaries. Sometimes some tissue from the ovaries remain and the cat can still go into heat. I don’t know if this will happen with our cat but if it does, we’ll have to do another one. Also, your cat gets cheaper anesthesia and cheaper sutures which might increase the operation’s risk. On the positive side, the vets there are likely very experienced since they do this many many times over.
All in all, $ 50 for a spay or neuter is really cheap ($ 250 or so full price elsewhere). It is a good choice if you have a million feral cats. But I am never taking my cat back there. I was under the impression that it was the same operation but it is not. I should have done better research. So I am writing this review for those of you who can’t quite decide. If price is really important to you or if you have many cats this may be a reasonable option. But if your cat is precious and you don’t mind paying a bit more, take him/​her to a proper vet where you can ask questions and know exactly what’s going on.
