Feline Ovariohysterectomy Authorization Form

For cats scheduled for a spay procedure, please complete this form before the day of surgery. The information provided will help us review your cat's medical history, confirm procedural authorizations, and prepare for a safe and smooth surgical experience.

PLEASE NOTE - You will be asked on the morning of surgery if your cat ate that morning. Your cat should be FASTED after midnight. Water is OK.

This authorization form is valid for the scheduled date of my cat's procedure.

Does your cat take any medications?

Anesthesia and Surgical Procedure Authorization

I am the owner or authorized agent of the animal described above and give consent for Felines First Veterinary Hospital to perform any necessary and advisable medical or surgical procedures, including an ovariohysterectomy, for my pet’s health and well-being.


I understand that while the staff will exercise reasonable precautions and perform all procedures to the best of their ability, no guarantee of outcome can be made. I agree not to hold Felines First Veterinary Hospital or its staff liable in the event of illness, injury, or death, and I accept responsibility for payment in full at the time of discharge.

Preoperative Blood Screening

When anesthesia is required, we take every precaution to help ensure your cat’s safety. Despite careful monitoring, complications can arise—especially if underlying conditions like anemia, kidney dysfunction, or liver disease are present but undetected. These issues may not show up during a physical exam alone, which is why blood testing before anesthesia is so important.


To better assess your cat’s internal health and minimize risk during and after the procedure, a pre-anesthetic blood panel—including a chemistry profile, complete blood count, and electrolyte analysis—is strongly recommended. If this testing has not already been performed, it can be completed on the morning of the procedure.


*Cats 7 years of age and older are required to have blood screens performed prior to surgery

Viral Testing and Heartworms

We strongly recommend a Snap Triple Test for all cats undergoing anesthesia. This test provides results within 15 minutes and screens for:


Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV): Weakens the immune system and can increase anesthetic and surgical risks.


Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV): Similar to FeLV, FIV impairs immune function and may affect recovery.


Heartworms: Though more common in dogs, heartworm disease can cause serious complications in cats, especially under anesthesia.


Testing allows us to take appropriate precautions and provide the safest possible care during your cat’s procedure.

Please test my cat for FeLV, FIV, and heartworms today ($63.00).
I'd like to decline this test

Intavenous Catheter and Fluids

An intravenous (IV) catheter is recommended for all surgical patients to provide immediate access to the bloodstream for medications and emergency intervention if needed.


IV fluids administered through the catheter help maintain blood pressure, support vital organ function, keep your cat hydrated, and aid in drug clearance after anesthesia.


All cats undergoing ovariohysterectomy procedures at our hospital will receive pain medication, an IV catheter, and intravenous fluids during the procedure. These services are included in your treatment estimate.

Post-operative Therapeutic Laser Treatment

Therapeutic laser treatment (photobiomodulation) uses light energy to stimulate cellular healing, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote faster tissue repair. This non-invasive treatment can be especially helpful in improving comfort and recovery.

Postsurgical Laser Therapy Selection:
I authorize post-surgical laser treatment for my cat. ($14.50)
I would like to decline laser therapy

Surgical Site Preservation Options

After surgery, your cat will need either an e-collar (soft cone) or a recovery suit (cat “onesie”) to help prevent licking or chewing at the surgical incision during healing. E-collars help keep your cat from reaching the incision site, while recovery suits provide a more full-body alternative for protection and comfort.

Both options can be effective, so please let us know if you have a preference to help support a smooth and comfortable recovery for your cat.

Surgical Site Preservation Selection:
I would like a soft collar for my cat. ($18.00)
I would like a recovery suit for my cat. ($34.00)

Permanent Identification

We recommend that all cats have a microchip implanted as a form of permanent identification. Even indoor cats can unexpectedly escape, and microchips greatly improve the chances of being reunited if your cat is ever lost. Microchip placement can be easily performed while your cat is sedated for their procedure.

Permanent Identification Selection:
Please microchip my cat today at a discounted cost of $48.00 (*$16 discount for sedated procedures)
My cat is already microchipped
No thank you

Emergency CPR Selection

In case of cardiac and/or respiratory arrest, it's very important for our veterinarians to know how to provide the best quality care based on your wishes. This allows our staff to immediately respond to an unexpected and potentially life-threatening situation. These wishes are asked of every client that has their pet stay with us at our hospital, regardless of health status.

To follow your wishes and provide the best possible care while your pet is with us, we ask that you choose a resuscitation code.

In the event of cardiac or respiratory failure:
(CPR) I wish to have any/all efforts at resuscitation performed. Techniques may include (but are not limited to) basic CPR, IV medications, ventilations, and/or surgical techniques. I realize that additional costs may be incurred and I agree to pay these costs in full during the time of treatment/pick-up.
(DNR) I DO NOT wish for resuscitation efforts to be performed on my pet.

By signing below, I acknowledge that I have reviewed and selected my preferences regarding the recommendations, services, and treatment options listed above. I understand that I may discuss any questions or concerns with the veterinary team prior to my cat’s procedure.
