You can spay/neuter your kitten once they get to 2 pounds. However, most vets would recommend waiting until they are about 3 - 4 months old but prior to 6 months old. You do not want to wait too long. Spaying/neutering your cat early will prevent it from developing spraying habits and aggressive behavior. For female cats, spaying after they go into heat the first time will be more expensive at most vets. For male cats, waiting too long to neuter your cat will result in that strong urine odor male cats develop. Remember your cat can get pregnant before your even realize she's been in heat. Spay early to avoid kittens and unnecessary cost in long run.

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.


How long until a female goes back into heat after her first litter?

This usually depends on how old the kittens are and the individual mother cat. Usually a female cat will come back into season after her current kittens are weaned. However, some cats' cycles can start again when her kittens are still very young, and some will not come into heat again for many months after the kittens are weaned.

No kitten has been born, and survived, with four mouths. A kitten four months old is still not sexually mature. Queens generally become sexually mature between eight months and one year of age, and can give birth to kittens about two months after they first come into heat.
