How do you neuter kittens?

Well, there are places where you can get your kitten neutered for cheap. They are basically like chop-shops -- they don't provide any regular veterinary care. They just do spaying/neutering. Your local ASPCA, Humane Society, or AC&C (Animal Care & Control) can refer you to one.

But your kitten is going to need lifetime care from a qualified, reputable veterinarian. When you get a new kitten, you are supposed to bring him in for an initial checkup and shots, and then he will need a regular checkup and shots every year from then on.

So, since you're going to need a real vet anyway, if you can afford it, you should definitely get your kitten neutered at an established veterinary clinic/hospital -- not a spay/neuter chop-shop. I have heard some Horror stories about those places, about the shoddy work they sometimes do, that results in newly-spayed female kittens' sutures oozing or opening up and the like. Neutering is, of course, a much less complicated procedure than spaying, so since you have a boy cat, the chances of them messing it up are much lower.

But still...the bottom line is that you get what you pay for. Having your kitten neutered at an established veterinary clinic might be more expensive, but chances are they're going to do it properly. Whereas if you have your kitten neutered for a bargain-basement price...well, chances are you're going to get bargain-basement results.

If you Google "find a veterinarian," you will find quite a few websites that will help you find one in your area. I have included links to five of them.

The feline neuter is one of the simplest surgical procedures performed in all of veterinary medicine. The cat is fasted over night so that anesthesia is performed on an empty stomach.

Once anaesthetised, the hair is plucked or shaved from the cat's scrotum, then cleaned with an antibacterial wash. The scrotum is opened with a small incision and the testicles are brought out. The cords are either pulled free and tied to each other or a small suture is used to tie the cords and the testicle is cut free. The skin incision on the scrotum is small enough so as not to require stitches of any kind.

Do sibling cats have more chances to have deficient kittens if they mate?

Definitely. I would never recommend doing that. It would be cruel to the kittens. If you have a litter of kittens and keep all the boys and girls, neuter the boys or something. --- Breeding sibling cats increases the chance of recessive genetic defects. Not all cats carry them, and this is why breeders are able to inbreed cats without defects through careful breeding.
