where can I get this? And where can I get my adopted kitty spayed?

There is a shop on Suthep road the name is Nampingpasusad.

There are many qualified veterinarians in Chiang Mai. Telling us what area you're looking for would narrow it down quite a bit.

The road the connects Hang Dong Road to Wu lai road (saturday night market street) there is a vet open 24 hours a day, speak english. It's on the west side of the road about 100 meters or so from the intersection of Hang Dong Road and Airport Shopping Plaza. THe sign is in Thai, but look for a sign (I think it's in yellow if I remember correctly) with a big "24" on it (24 hours open). They'll do the kitten for about 180 baht for the flea and tick treatment.- lasts 30 days. Take back every 30 days.

Cats if I remember are not supposed to be spayed until they are around 2 years old, but ask the vet.

I have always used Dr Nook. Her animal hospital is on Chang Klan road, not far from Pantip Plaza. She always has Frontline (flea/tick treatment) in stock.

She has spayed/neutered five of my cats and does their regular check-ups as well. Very good and speaks excellent English, too.

Cats can be spayed when they're much younger than 2 years old. At that time, a cat would have had several litters of kittens! We've had just one female cat, and I believe she was spayed at around 9-10 months.

If I recall correctly, Dr Nook recommends minimum 6 months for male cats and 8 months for females. The reason for the difference being that it is a much 'larger' (i.e. more invasive) surgery for females. Several of my breeder friends claim that a female should have been in heat at least once before spaying.

So far I know a female cat can get into heat already at the age of 4 months. In a controlled and enclosed area that shouldn't be a problem, but if the female can roam outside I would spay at the minimum age of 4 months.

If the kitten is just adopted then I would first let it adapt to her new area, to get that stress level down, and have it deflea-ed and dewormed. If the kitten is a bit malnutritioned then get it back to proper health before you spay or vaccinate. Don't do it all at once; it's not good for the kitten and can increase the risks on side-effects.

As for where to spay, pretty much any vet can do that. Just check on the prices, as some are ridiculously expensive and try to sell all other stuff to you as well.

Well I have found there are quite a few ways to deal with cats but I wont cover the more progressive methods as they can take some phychological counseling or heavy medication first, Spaying, a sharp razor and a quick flick of the wrist, after of course humanely applying a very small rubber band first, be warned though this can result in some scratching and biting, unappreciating b*stards. Does add a nice bite the curry later as well.

Fleas, Baygon does the job assuming of course the roteen ungrateful b*stards don't die of asphyxiation first.

I'll be happy to add more tips later as questions arise.
