Instructions This is a programme to help families facing financial difficulties who are unable to sterilize their pet cats. Only the cost of sterilisation and microchipping will be borne – no other medical costs will be paid for. Sterilisation and microchipping are important aspects of responsible pet cat ownership. Microchipping allows your cat to be traced back to you, should it be lost. Sterilisation improves the health and welfare of cats, by preventing certain cancers and reducing undesirable behaviours such as spraying and caterwauling. Sterilisation also prevents unwanted breeding and litters, especially where multiple unsterilised cats are kept together. Eligibility You will be assisted through the AVS Pet Cat Sterilisation Support Programme if: You are a financial assistance recipient (MSF, CDC); or You are a holder of Blue CHAS card; or You are Living in a public rental flat You will be assisted through the CWS Pet Cat Sterilisation Programme for all other applications. Please note that sterilised cats will have their left ear tipped, and will be microchipped, and registered to the details indicated below. Only complete forms will be processed. Please note kittens need to be minimum 5 months old, 2kg in weight and 30cm in length.

(my cat is already sterilised) Terms & Conditions Acknowledgement of Risks I understand that every clinical or surgical procedure has the inherent risks of complications or adverse events and accept all such risks in relation to the surgical sterilisation and related procedures on my cat(s). General Anaesthesia Risk - I acknowledge that general anaesthesia carries inherent risks including but not limited to: Allergic or adverse reactions, respiratory and/or cardiac complications, post-anaesthetic nausea and vomiting, long-term cognitive impairment, as well as the rare possibility of death. Surgery Risk - I acknowledge that surgical sterilisation carries inherent risks including but not limited to: Haemorrhage, inflammation, pain, prolonged recovery, infection, wound dehiscence, brain, vision, neurologic or urinary complications, as well as the rare possibility of death. Multi-animal environment – I acknowledge that there are certain inherent risks involved in sending my cat(s) to a multi-animal environment, including the potential for injury, illness, or parasites to arise from my own cat(s), other cats, or during their stay at the facility. Do not resuscitate order - I acknowledge that if my cat experiences cardiac or respiratory arrest while in the facility, resuscitation measures will be initiated. If immediate contact with me is not possible, the veterinarian will use their discretion to determine whether resuscitative efforts should be continued Sterilisation Process: I acknowledge that as part of the sterilisation process, my cat(s) will be microchipped (if not already microchipped) and ear tipped to signify its sterilised status. I acknowledge that if my cat(s) is/are found to be pregnant, regardless of the stage of pregnancy, the pregnancy will be terminated, and foetuses will be humanely euthanised in accordance with established veterinary protocols. I acknowledge that in the case of male cats suspected to have undescended testicles, or when sterilisation status is unknown, surgery may involve exploration in the inguinal and abdominal region. In the case of female cats where sterilisation status is unknown, exploratory laparotomy may be performed in the abdominal region. After-Care I acknowledge that my cat(s) may require an e-collar of an appropriate size to prevent any disruption of the incision/surgical site until it has fully healed. I am liable for any injuries that may occur if the e-collar is not used as recommended or if my cat(s) interferes with the healing process due to non-compliance. I acknowledge that home care administered by myself, or a designated caretaker is required to ensure the continued well-being and recovery of my cat(s). I understand that alteration of any post-operative care instructions may possibly result in an unfavourable or detrimental side effect with medical complications. No Liability - I will not hold Cat Welfare Society, the designated Veterinarian, their employees and affiliates responsible or liable in any way for, and agree that no action shall arise from, any loss (including, without limitation, the ill-health or death of my cat(s) as a result of any complication that may arise during the surgical sterilisation and related procedures) caused by or sustained in connection with the said procedure(s). Personal data – I consent to the collection, use and disclosure of my personal data provided in the form for the purpose of my participation in the Pet Cat Sterilisation Programme. In the event that my personal information or further confirmations, indemnities, warranties, etc are required by the Veterinarian, I consent to CWS providing the same on my behalf.
