How old should cats be when spayed?

Answer 1

You can't get your cat neutered or spayed too early, nor too late. I would say that you should get them fixed around 4-6 months of age. You should not get them fixed any earlier than 3 months, and no later than 6-7 months. You have to pick the right time for your cat. Things to look for, are change in behavior, attitude, and interests. Know your cat and look at the way it acts to see when you should get them fixed.
My vet said it was best to neuter or spay a cat around 4-5 months old, as kittens reach sexual maturity at around 6 months old.
Spay/neuter surgery can be performed on kittens as young as 6-8 weeks, and as small as 2 pounds.

Female kittens usually come into heat for the first time when she is around 6 months old, although some kittens cat have her first heat as young as 4 months. The best age to get her spayed is between 4 and 6 months old.

Kittens reach sexual maturity at around six months old, although some will begin as early as four months. It is best, and usually recommended, for the kitten to be spayed before it reaches six months old. Doing this early will also help your cat from developing unwanted behavior like spraying, marking, and aggression.

Both male and female cats (when in heat) will yowl and call for mates, and will do anything to escape outside. Not only that, a cat spayed or neutered will greatly reduce the risk of numerous cancers and other health problems later in the cat's life.

Your vet will probably recommend spaying or neutering between the ages of 4-6 months. There is another school of veterinary thought that cats may be neutered very early (7 weeks) without ill effects, and this seems borne out by evidence.
At least eight weeks old. Some veterinarians prefer to wait until the kitten is three to five months old before undergoing the spaying procedure.

Answer 7

Kittens need to be neutered much earlier than six months. Many vets will now neuter kittens from 10-12 weeks old as the procedure is very quick and young kittens recover much faster than an adult would. Kittens reach sexual maturity at around six months of age, however some kittens can mature as young as four months old. Neutering is best before they reach this stage.

Answer 8

They have to be at least 8 weeks old to be spayed or neutered. It doesn't have to be done so early, but it should be done sooner rather than later, as studies have shown that cats that are spayed/neutered later are at greater risk for certain serious conditions and diseases, such as Breast cancer.

Also keep in mind that female cats can get pregnant as young as 4 months old, so if there is any chance of her meeting an un-neutered male, she should be spayed early.

Answer 9

Before six months, as kittens usually reach sexual maturity around that age.

Answer 10

A cat should not be spayed any earlier than seven weeks of age, but it is best have any cat spayed before six months of age.
