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.
Are you interested in adopting a male or female kitten?
You can tell if your kitten is a female by looking for two small openings near the tail. If the openings are close together, it's likely a female kitten.
No
The gender of a kitten can typically be determined when they are around 8 weeks old. At this age, the genitals of the kitten will be more developed, making it easier to identify whether they are male or female.
The sex of a kitten can typically be determined when they are around 6-8 weeks old. At this age, the genitalia of the kitten will be more developed, making it easier to identify whether they are male or female.
The gender of the kitten is not specified in the question.

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.
I would say that your better off getting the male neutered first. It will stop behaviors like spraying.
Cat = kat, or if it is a female one: Poes Kitten = kitten
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.
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.
