If she can't come in contact with an intact male
you can wait and see if she comes in heat....

Marylyn,
A neighbor of mine rescued a kitty off the street and asked me to have
her spayed. Of course, she had very little money so I asked a local
shelter if we could do it through them. Poor kitty was opened up only
to find she had already been spayed. She was never the same after
that. She was never really a friendly cat, but after that she wouldn't
let anyone touch her except through a brush. Very sad. I had simply
turned her over to this group, I'll never do that again. I always take
any cats into the vet myself now. Who knows if she had rough
treatment, or disrespectful treatment, when I wasn't there. Hard
lesson learned.
What were the vets looking for with the blood test? Reduced hormone
levels? I have always been told, if you can't see the scar, there's no
way to know if they've been spayed before. I would do anything not to
put another cat through an experience like that poor kitty endured.

I took Dixie Louise to my vet to
be
spayed and she tested positive for FeLV. There were lots of
conversations about how to handle the "situation" especially since I
have Kitty, a FeLV neg cat who has cancer. To get to the point, all
the vets at the clinic, who are very friendly to all the oddities I
bring in, supported having her spayed because it was a lot less
stressful than going into heat several times a year and certainly less
stressful than a pregnancy.
<>I have friends who are animal
communicators and Dixie kept telling them she had been to the vet
before. I had my vets run a blood test when they could find no surgery
scar. Seems like Dixie had been spayed by someone in the past.
Luckily, my AC friends were there for her or she would have had surgery
a second time. It is highly unlikely this would ever happen again.
