A cat is never "too old" to be spayed if it is in good health (ie. able to safely undergo anesthetic). Spaying cats at older ages does mean losing some of the health benefits of spaying them while they are young.
I would check with your vet just to be sure

∙ 14y agoDepends on your vet - but most recommend spaying a female cat around four months of age - they've been weened from their mother by then (and probably re-homed), but they haven't gone into heat yet.

∙ 12y agoMost privately owned kittens should be spayed at 5-6 months of age, prior to their first heat. However, some shelters will spay a kitten as young as 2 months once they weigh 1 kg.
They should get spayed at 4 or older months . I have about ten and they got spayed at 4 months

∙ 14y agoKittens as young as 8 weeks old can be spayed. Although many people do not get it done that early, female cats as young as 4 months old can potentially get pregnant. So, if there is an un-neutered male cat in your house, or if your cat is an outdoor cat and could potentially meet up with un-neutered male cats, then you should definitely have it done before she's 4 months old.

Why does your 6mth old kitten have smelly poop after being spayed?

Can a 12 week old kitten spray?
A twelve week old kitten will in no way be able to spray. At such an age the kitten is comparable to a young child. Kittens usually reach sexual maturity around five to seven months old, and should ideally be spayed before six months old to avoid spraying and other possible problems developing.
What do you do if my recently spayed kitten's suture is oozing?
Take her back to the vet immediately.
How old before spaying a kitten?
I got my kitten when she was 6-6 1/2 weeks old, so the breeder got her spayed, she was probably about 5 weeks. Make sure to get them spayed before 5 months (mine just turned 5 months on Halloween) because they are starting to grow more into a cat and they have to get spayed when a kitten.a kitten is until a year but they are growing so much into a cat so DO NOT wait until a year...I hope that that helped :P
Can a 12 week old kitten have a litter?
A twelve week old kitten will in no way be able to have kittens of its own. At such an age the kitten is comparable to a young child. Female kittens usually reach sexual maturity around five to seven months old, although they should still never be bred at this age as they are still young and should, ideally, be spayed.
Can a 6 month old kitten be in heat?
Yes. It is possible for female cats as young as 4 months old to start her first heat cycle. It is recommended that cats should be spayed before six months to prevent any unwanted behaviour or chance of a kitten becoming pregnant.
Is there anything that will ease the process of healing for two year old female kitten who was spayed and declawed four days ago?
You de-clawed your cat? That is SICK and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Is there anything you can do to stop the whining when a kitten is in heat?
No. There is nothing you can do. Wait until the cat's heat stops and get her spayed.
What if your kitten has just been spayed and wants to climb when can she do that?
Check with your vet. It is best to try and refrain a kitten from climbing until after they take out the stitches a week or two after spaying.
Can a non-spayed cat who has never been pregnant nurse an adopted kitten?
i think but I'm not completely sure.
