Sterycat: The effect of early-age neutering of cats on their health and well-being (Sterycat)
Neutering before the sexual maturity can be performed to prevent unwanted cats. In this research anaesthetic and surgical protocols are refined. During 24 months there is a follow-up of the cats to determine the effect of early-age neutering on the occurrence of some clinical complications (obesitas, FLUTD, bone fractures), well-being and the development of their behaviour.
