How old must a kitten be to get spayed?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Depends 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.

Answer 3

Most 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

Answer 4

Kittens 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.

Answer 5

A vet told me that my kitten would have to be at least 5 months old before getting neutered.

Answer 6

Most vets will not do the procedure until the cat is 5 or 6 months old, but the cat could become pregnant at four months. If she goes into heat, isolate her from other cats until it passes.

Answer 7

A cat should be four or five months old for it to be spayed.

Answer 8

A cat can be spayed at any time after she first comes into heat, generally some time about eight months to one year of age.

Answer 9

5 months or older
