Expert Answer

Most female cats wake within 1 hour after spay, though some take 4 to 5 hours, depending on constitution and anesthesia dose. Wake time varies by sensitivity and metabolism, so wait until the cat is awake before taking her home. At home, follow the vet’s care instructions, tend the wound, and put on an Elizabethan collar to prevent infection.
