Vets usually recommend 4 1/2 to 5 months, the Humane Society and Animal Control will do it much earlier (8wks) in order to get them adopted sooner. Most veterinarians do not recommend doing it that early though.
In the United States, most veterinarians advocate neutering your male cat at about 4 months of age. However, a veterinarian experienced with performing surgery for a shelter can neuter a kitten down to about 2 months of age with no worries about surgical complications - the minimum weight is about 2 pounds for surgery.
I am not completely sure, but i think it should be before he reaches 6 months old.

∙ 13y agoBoth male and female kittens can be spayed as early as 10-12 weeks of age, although this varies somewhat from vet to vet. 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. It is best for the kitten to be spayed before it reaches six months old, otherwise you will have to deal with constant spraying (very strong smelling urine), both male and female cats (when in heat) will yowl and call for mates, and will do anything to escape outside.

∙ 13y agoKittens can be spayed at 2 lbs. Kittens and Puppies both can be altered very young, as young as 8 to 12 weeks old. Most veterinarians will spay a cat from anywhere between 3 to 6 months old as the best time to spay is before the kitten has her first heat.
Female cats are spayed, and male cats are neutered (same for dogs).
It is generally a good idea to get your cat spayed if you can't take care of any kittens or give them to someone.
There is an overpopulation of cats in the USA, to the point that 1 dog or cat is put to sleep every 8 seconds.
It is probably best to go ahead and spay the cat to prevent it from having kittens if you think you'll have to put the kittens to sleep.
