How old must a cat be before getting pregnant?

Answer 1

A cat can first come in to season from the age of 6 months onwards, so the answer is 6 months old for first pregnancy. Some kittens start their first season as early as 4 months. However, cats are still very much kittens at this age. They are still growing and developing themselves, so letting a 6 month old kitten become pregnant can be incredibly dangerous, risking the lives of the mother and the unborn kittens.

It is best to spay kittens before they reach 6 months old to stop them having any unwanted litters.

Answer 2

Cats can become pregnant from around 4-6 months old, but it is recommended to wait until they are at least 12 months old before allowing them to breed to ensure their physical and emotional maturity. Early spaying and neutering are also recommended to prevent unplanned pregnancies.

Answer 3

2 years old.

Female cats as young as 4 or 5 months old can get pregnant, although this is never recommended because at 5 months old, they are still kittens themselves and still put a great deal of their energy into growing and developing. If a kitten of such an age becomes pregnant, it is putting a great deal of risk onto the mother and the unborn litter.

Answer 4

Cats can go into heat at an age as young as four or five months. However, at this age, the cat is still very much a kitten and letting such a young kitten become pregnant poses great risk to her health. It is best to spay kittens before six months old, or before their first heat.

Generally speaking, a female kitten can reach sexual maturity at six to eight months old, but she herself does not reach adulthood until one year's of age.

Because of this, it is highly recommended that female cats are spayed before they reach six or seven months old to stop the risk of pregnancy.

Answer 5

Cats can get pregnant before they are even fully grown; as young as four months old, although the usual age is around six months. However, at this age, the cat is still very much a kitten and pregnancies from cats that young rarely produce a healthy litter of kittens, and poses a great risk for the young cats' health and well-being.

Answer 6

Actually a 6-7 mos. old cat can get pregnant...but would be ideal to get preggy when the cat get 1 year old.
