Fur not growing back after spay?

My little rescue void landed here 8 weeks ago?

She was spayed by the rescue centre, so must have been 10 weeks?

Fur still not growing back ... should I be concerned?

I have an elderly girl cat who was shaved for a scan a very long time ago- certainly before the summer holidays started, which was July 2nd for us and her fur is just starting to grow back now. She was not fully shaved, just clsoely shaved and she still looks shaved.

So fingers crossed it is just some time! (Ours is a short hair).

Congrats on your kitty!

Not grown back at all, or still looks different to the rest of her fur?
DC took 3-4 months to grow her patch back properly - and it looked grey for most of that time, even though shes a black cat. Can't tell now tho.

Not really grown back at all 🤔
She's a short hair black cat
On a more random note, she likes me scratching her there 😳 wierdo 😻

Don't worry. It will. It can take ages. Yet strangely in some cats it's really quick. Anyway, nothing to worry about.

@thecatneuterer Thank You ☺️ all previous cats it's grown back really quickly, hence my concern!
I'll stop worrying and just enjoy the floofy void 😻😻

Oh she is gorgeous!

Mine has had a bald patch where she was shaved for a blood test 5 years ago. The vet says it happens sometimes, nothing to be done. It doesn't bother her in the slightest. If she ever needs another blood test, I hope they can take it from the same spot!

I can't see a shaved patch, because I'm so busy looking at those amazing eyes!
