Kittens as young as 8 weeks old can be spayed or neutered. It's not really necessary to have it done THAT early, but keep in mind that cats can start having babies as young as 4 months old. So don't wait too long!

Also, getting it done when the kitten is still very young -- like 8 to 12 weeks -- is supposed to be better for their long-term health.

Unless they are fixed. You don't want them to have more kitties unless you are responsible enough to find them good homes. Hoarding is not good for cats.

How can I determine the gender of a kitten - specifically, how to know if a kitten is male or female?

To determine the gender of a kitten, you can look at their genitalia. Male kittens have a small distance between the anus and the genital opening, which is where the penis will be. Female kittens have a larger distance between the anus and the genital opening, which is where the vulva will be. This method is most reliable when the kitten is around 8 weeks old.


How old does a female kitten have to be to get neutered?

Both male and female kittens can be spayed as early as 10-12 weeks of age, although this varies somewhat from vet to vet; some vets prefer to perform the spay procedure when the kitten is around 3 or 4 months old. Cats usually reach sexual maturity around six months old and some even younger at four months, so it is best to spay kittens before that age.
