Spaying a cat involves surgically removing the ovaries and uterus to prevent reproduction. The benefits of spaying include preventing unwanted litters, reducing the risk of certain health issues like uterine infections and mammary tumors, and helping to control the cat population.
To spay a cat, you should take her to a veterinarian who will perform a surgical procedure to remove her ovaries and uterus. This procedure helps prevent unwanted pregnancies and can also have health benefits for the cat. It is important to follow the veterinarian's instructions for post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery for the cat.

When veterinarians spay a cat, they remove the ovaries and uterus.
It is recommended to spay a mother cat when the kittens are weaned, but be sure to check when your vet is most comfortable to spay her. The spay will not cause her to behave any differently to her kittens, but is advised to wait until the kittens are on solid food as the procedure can disrupt, or even stop, milk flow.
Yes, it is possible to spay a cat after she gives birth, but it is generally recommended to spay a cat before she becomes pregnant to prevent unwanted litters and potential health risks.

This soley depends on the vet. Some vets will spay a cat while in heat, while others will not, due to the increased chance of the cat bleeding out during the procedure. It is best to spay the kitten before its first heat to decrease the chance of unwanted spraying.
Are you sure she was spayed? A fixed cat cannot have kittens as the procedure removes all the reproductive organs; the uterus and the ovaries. There is a chance that the vet did not do the procedure correctly or at all, but there really is no way to tell; the only person who can really answer this question is your vet, or the vet that spayed your cat. Vets will not spay a cat that is already well in her pregnancy, as the risk is far too great for the Queen. A vet will only spay a cat very early on as the risk of the Queen bleeding out or some other complication is minimal.
It is recommended to spay/neuter a cat around 5-6 months of age, before they reach sexual maturity. This helps prevent unwanted litters and provides health benefits for the cat. Make sure to consult with a veterinarian for the best timing and advice based on your cat’s health and development.
