Yes, you can have a mother cat spayed some time after she's had kittens, but not straight away. Get your vet's advice. If you're not a registered breeder, it's a very good idea to get your cat spayed so that there isn't an extra problem of more unwanted kittens.

Kittens are usually fully weaned around 8 to 12 weeks old. Some cats can come back into heat during this time, so be sure the mother does not have access outside before she is spayed.

Is is possible for a female cat to mate then conceive then be spayed and then give birth to her kittens?
No, it is not possible for a spayed cat to have kittens. The spaying procedure removes the cat's entire reproductive system, which includes any unborn kittens if any are present. If the cat is far into her pregnancy, it may be safer (unless a vet says otherwise) to let the kittens be born and then spay the mother as soon as the kittens are weaned. A cat early in pregnancy can be spayed safely.
