I just talked to the vet and they will be able to spay/neuter Spence and Katie on Thursday before I bring them home that evening after work!
Given that they were unsure as to their exact ages, and they say anywhere between 4 and 6 months of age, I didn't want to end up with a pregnant kitten when I got them home and waiting to take them back for spay/neuter in 2 months or so! They told me that they would not spay if pregnant.
All of their baby teeth are not in yet, but they feel they are old enough to be altered before I take them home.
I asked about a microchip and they said it was extra, but they do do Humane Society ear tattoos free of charge! I was grateful for that because I actually prefer the ear tattoos to a microchip.... and so does my vet because it is visible to the naked eye and there is no doubt about the pet owns someone
unlike a hidden microchip. So they are getting ear tattoos
I am going to get a litter box, kitten food, and some wet cat food tomorrow. Kitten proofing my cable wires tonight and tomorrow night, picking them up on Thursday.
