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

How old before spaying a kitten?

I got my kitten when she was 6-6 1/2 weeks old, so the breeder got her spayed, she was probably about 5 weeks. Make sure to get them spayed before 5 months (mine just turned 5 months on Halloween) because they are starting to grow more into a cat and they have to get spayed when a kitten.a kitten is until a year but they are growing so much into a cat so DO NOT wait until a year...I hope that that helped :P

When will your kitten have a litter?

Your kitten will have a litter when it is a cat, not a kitten. Cats will have kitties when they are in heat (sexually active) around the 6th month to the 9th month of their life. That time if they mate they will have kitties. :) Your cat will only have kitties if you haven't spayed it yet.
