On Petfindercom, what does it mean when2007-11-24 22:13:18

When I search on petfinder, like, for a rat ( which I do practically daily), what does it mean when it says " This pet has been altered."? Does it mean it has been fixed, or had surgery, or that the pet is no longer up for adoption, or what?

Answers:

Yes, it means the animal has been neutered/spayed.

Altered=neutered/spayed

It means that the animal has been neutered.

Usually it means the pet has been altered as a mental state (example may be skittish) or altered as in physically. Everyone has different definitions of this (what it is to be physically altered). Depending on the case or organization involved it could mean altered like missing a leg or altered like missing a tooth and or blind in one eye. It varies. Remember either way you will need to put a lot of care and time into a pet. Good luck!
