An adopted female stray cat could have been spayed

A stray cat came to the house for food for the past 9 months. She would go off to hunt for birds, mice and lizards. The mother and daughter decided to spay her. The cat had not been pregnant even though she went out. The owners requested spay but there were no ovaries and uterus.

We saw a blue nylon stitch left by another vet in the muscle near the linea alba. This was shown to the owners confirming that the cat could have been spayed. The cat's ear was not clipped after spaying by the first vet and this could be a home cat that was abandoned or lost.

This was explained to the owner.  From this case, the owners of adopted female cats that wander will be to confine the cat and see whether she caterwauls before sending to the vet for spaying.
