We are having cats come into both clinics in heat, some pregnant already!  That means you need to get them spayed now BEFORE they become pregnant.  Bikini Beach Cat Rescue is sponsoring affordable Spay and Neuter Clinics for cats and kittens at The Cat's Meow at 4720 Hwy 17 Bypass South on the access road by channel 13 news for $45.  We also sponsor a Laser Spay & Neuter Clinic for cats and kittens at The Animal Hospital & Laser Center at 13057 Ocean Hwy in Pawleys Island for $55 on Tuesdays.  Both clinics include a basic exam and a 1 yr. rabies vaccination for kittens three months or older. All feral cats and kittens must be in traps for the animal's safety and safety to the personnel.
This cost is reasonable; no excuses, get your felines fixed now!  It is getting more difficult to find homes for new kittens. All veterinarians, at both locations, have an extensive veterinary background with many years of practical clinical experience. 
Call: 843-655-7881 for appointments.  We subsidized more than 1,000 spay and neuters for the last two years and are getting more calls this year year; if you can make a small donation to help our organization reduce these costs to someone less fortunate, it will help reduce the number of cats and kittens in our area, some being surrendered to shelters.  Thank You!

Advantages of Early Spay/Neuters in Cats
Having been taught that 6 to 7 months of age is the proper time to spay/neuter puppies and kittens, many veterinarians have been reluctant to advise their clients to have their pets spayed/neutered at 12 weeks of age. However, there is an accumulating body of evidence indicating that the positive results quite possibly outweigh any remaining unknown risks.  We now do spay and neuters for kittens at 3 months of age, or 3 lbs.
Most people should know by now that failure to spay & neuter is the number one cause of the pet population explosion. One unspayed female cat and her offspring, can be responsible for the birth of 73,000 kittens in six years.  Female cats, barely kittens themselves, commonly give birth and male cats as young as four months have been known to impregnate willing queens. 
Humane Societies to the Forefront
Because of the exponentially increasing feline overpopulation problems, these groups rose to the forefront in taking positive action by deciding to spay/neuter the kittens prior to adoption. In the twenty or so years of research that followed, in both the U.S. and Canada, shelter operators and veterinarians were able to dismiss the previous misconceptions one by one. They found that cats altered as early as twelve weeks, compared to cats neutered at six to twelve months, there was the:
Same metabolic rate
Same type of growth
Same urethral diameter at adulthood
Same behavioral patterns.
Notwithstanding the most obvious (and most critical) benefit, that of helping to diminish the population growth, certain side benefits of early spay and neuter accrued to the cats themselves, such as less traumatic surgery, quicker recovery, and fewer complications.
The Surgery
The surgeries were basically the same, including the kind of anesthetics used for inducement and maintenance. There were two important differences, however:
The surgeries went much quicker and with less trauma for the kittens because there were no extra layers of fat to cut through. For the same reason, closure was a relatively simple process of one stitch through the one-centimeter incision for the spay.
Recovery
Kittens shed the anesthesia much quicker than the adult cats. In a video comparing neutering surgery at two different ages, fifteen minutes after the surgery the kitten was awake and starting to move around. The one year old cat was still out cold. Within an hour, the kittens were moving around, playing, and eating.
Conclusion
The evidence is clear: early spay and neuter is not only safe for the youngsters, but the procedure produces less tissue trauma, is less stressful, provides a shorter recovery period, with a lower risk of complications. On the other hand, no working studies are available to support the appropriateness of waiting the traditional period of 6 months.
Early spay/neuter is being taught in more and more veterinary colleges, coupled with the endorsements of such august groups as the AVMA with 64,000 members; The Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, with over 8,000 members; The state veterinary associations in California, Nevada, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Oregon, and Wisconsin; and numerous humane societies, promises that new ground is being gained every day.
