Ideally, you should wait until the kittens are weaned. Kittens knead the breasts, and that can be painful or prevent healing if the cat is spayed. Also, there is a somewhat greater risk of infection and increased bleeding since she has so recently given birth. As the kittens are weaned, her organs will shrink and make spaying less complicated. That said, keep in mind that, like humans, cats are more likely to get pregnant soon after giving birth. You want to spay her before she gets pregnant again, so if there's a reason you are considering having her spayed while she's nursing, discuss it with your veterinarian. As a humane volunteer, I have seen cats get spayed within a week of giving birth and continue to nurse. The milk does dry quickly, so the kittens may need to be supplemented. Not all veterinarians have the training or skill needed to perform this somewhat complicated surgery, which is why it is important to go with what your veterinarian advises.
