What happens after a cat gets spayed?Should i give her food?And will i get the cat back the day of the surgery
Your vet will give you instructions, but here's what will happen:
Your cat will need some extra TLC for a few days. She'll be drowsy and out-of-sorts for a day or so.
Anesthesia can make your cat nauseated so she may vomit. You can offer her very small amounts of water and food, later the first night, if she seems interested. It won't hurt her if she doesn't feel like eating for 24 hours or so, but she should be drinking a little water.
Most of the time you will get your cat back the same day of surgery. Occasionally the vet may be concerned about something, and keep her overnight.
Give your kitty lots of love!

The cat shouldn't have access to food after 8pm the night before the surgery (water should ALWAYS be accessible, of course). Female kittens are normally kept overnight, after a spay for the medications to wear off and give them a chance to catch any potential complications before returning the cat to you.
You can leave food with the vet, for after the surgery. If you don't, they'll often provide whatever they have, instead.
They'll give you a ''post-op'' care sheet (keep an eye on the incision, try not to let the cat jump around too much, watch for irritation, don't allow the area to get wet *no bathes!*)

you sholud keep her in a quiet place once she returns home because she will still be feeling the effects of being sedated. Offer food. she will eat it if she wants. You drop the cat off at the vet and most times you pick her up in two days.. Thank You for spaying your animal…

This all depends on what place you go to. At my clinic:
No food after 10 pm night before surgery. No Food, but water is ok.
Drop off is morning of sx between 8-8:30am.
You can decided to have preanestetic bloodwork done (means: take a little blood to test the liver and kidneys to make sure they are functioning properly before administering anestesia).
Sx will be done in the morning.
You can call after 1pm to check up on your cat (she should be awake by then).
Cats spend the night at my clinic if they are spayed, and pick up is the next day after 9am.
Instructions:
Food and water should be normal.
Exercise and activity (running and jumping) needs to be restricted as much as you can for 7-10 days.
No skin sutures should need to be removed, ours would dissolve on their own.
Pain Medication, we use a liquid called buprenex, which we put in seperate syringes that you would squirt into your cat's mouth.
If you have other animals, we'd suggest keeping them seperated for the first few days.

I recently got my kitten spayed.
The vet gives you a care sheet, and do what that says. Mine also gave me medicine, to give her every 8 hours. It was taken orally, very easy. She was usually groggy and asleep by the next 5 minutes.
She didn't eat for almost a day, until i hand fed her one peice, and then she went for the rest. Always have water availiable.
If you have other pets… they will be extremely interested in her. She has a new smell now, and they will want to check it out.
You are supposed to keep her from jumping around, something that was VERY hard for me to do. By the second or third day, I had to lock her in my closet, because she wouldn't stop jumping.
Always remember to give her extra love.

Vets differ in their practice, but mine likes to keep them over night to be sure she is alert and not pulling at her stiches. For about a week don't pick her up without supporting her rear quarter. Also don't her run loose where she might face dogs.
