FELINE VACCINES AND STERILIZATION:

When you get home with your foster and send me their information, I will send you their vaccine schedule. Following the vaccine schedule is extremely important. 

Foster vaccine days are Sundays and Tuesdays. On vaccine days you’ll bring the animals to our shelter between 11:00am-2:00pm. If you have cats or kittens, you can take them inside. This is first come, first serve. 

Confirm back w/ me via email each time your animal(s) get a vaccine. I’ll be the one to schedule their surgery and I like to be sure vaccines get documented correctly. 

The below vaccine schedule is an example only and will not be your fosters vaccine schedule. 

A typical vaccine schedule for a kitten: 

• 05/21 – 1st vaccine due, vaccines must be spaced out every 2 weeks.
• 06/04 – 2nd vaccine due, if kitten(s) is over 2lbs. I can schedule surgery, so ask for weights when you take them in 
• 06/18 – 3rd vaccine due, if not adopted 

The above dates will change and be affected if one of the dates is missed. If an animal requires medication including antibiotics, it may change their vaccine schedule. 

Spay dates are at Soul Dog Rescue’s discretion. We have been doing pre-pubescent spay/neuter on cats/dogs since 2005. We are firm and will not waiver on our requirement for our animals to be spayed/neutered in a timely manner. 

Once your foster is due for 3rd vaccine, we will be able to get their surgery spot scheduled. We typically assign surgery spots on a monthly basis. 

Drop off for surgery is always between 8:00am-9:00am. It’s very important to drop off within that window and not late. Doors will lock at 9:00am so our techs can begin surgery without interruption. 

Puppies and kitties can have a light breakfast the morning of surgery. If you have an adult, withhold food after midnight. Water as normal. Pickup is in the afternoon, medical will give you a better time during drop off. Normally it’s between 4:00pm-6:00pm. All KITTENS/CATS will stay with us after surgery to move on to adoptions unless otherwise discussed, if no adopter is lined up. 

Our cats/kittens will have the following completed on the day of adoption:

• 1-3 FVRCP vaccines 
• Rabies if old enough – rabies can only be given if over 16 weeks, if the kitten is not old enough at time of the adoption, the adopter will be required to complete rabies when age appropriate 
• Microchip 
• Spay/neuter surgery
