How old do cats have to be to give birth?

Answer 1

Anything after 5 months so get her spayed by that time. A five month old kitten is the equilivent of a 10 year old girl having a baby. Not a good idea for humans or cats. Letting a young and not yet mature cat breed comes with increased risk for both mother and litter. A kitten is still developing mentally and physically, and there is a high risk of health complications with the mother and the kittens. It is recommended to spay kittens before 6 months of age.

Answer 2

Cats reach sexual maturity at 5-10 months for females and 5-7 months for males. It varies depending on the cat, though, and it is better not to get pregnant on their first heat cycle, and also younger cats tend not to have as many motherly instincts as ones that are a year or older, so it's better to wait until they can take care of the kittens too.

Answer 3

a cat can be a year old when it can have kittens as my cat Tinkerbell did and they are really cute but you can stop them by getting them doctored do this quite fast as my mum tried everything she could to stop our cat Tinkerbell but she still did she even separated them it didn't work though.

Answer 4

As early as four months. That's about when you should bring her in to get spayed. Every year, thousands and thousands of kittens are killed at animal shelters, so if you're thinking of letting your cat have kittens, don't. If you want kittens, go to your local shelter and adopt one. Or become a "foster" home for a litter of kittens. When they're old enough to be adopted, they're already socialized and used to humans, and you get to have fun with kittens for a few weeks!

Answer 5

Their first heat is usually at 5-6 months of age, although letting a kitten breed at such a young age is incredibly dangerous and can risk the kitten's life.

Answer 6

4 - 6 months, but at this age they are still kittens themselves, so mating a cat at that age could put her life, and the unborn litter, at great risk.

Answer 7

i think they can have babies or kittens at any age above 1 or 2 years or at any age if at young age i think 1 might die .i am not 100 percent on if one might die.

Answer 8

Cats can begin having kittens by age 6 months old. A cat can be pregnant every few months. Cats can have babies up to about age 10-12 years old.
