It depends on the breed. Some can get pregnant at 4 months old, others at 6 months, and others as late as 8 months. This is why it is often advised to neuter and spay kittens before they reach 6 months old to eliminate the risk of producing unwanted litters.

∙ 12y agoThey are not. Is incredibly dangerous for a kitten under one and a half years of age to become pregnant. Kittens reach sexual maturity at around six months old, but that does not mean that they are ready to have kittens of their own - at this age, they themselves are still growing and developing.
Kittens spend most of their energy in growing and developing themselves, and having to carry and nourish unborn (and eventually born) kittens is incredibly dangerous and there is a real risk of complications or fatalities for both the mother and the litter.

Can your 5 month old kitten get pregnant?
Yes, it is not impossible for a cat to become pregnant at five months old. Most kittens reach sexual maturity around six months old. Due to this, it is best to spay a kitten around this time, especially if she has her first season at such a young age, as she is just a kitten herself. It would be incredibly dangerous (and possibly fatal) for her and any unborn kittens if she were allowed to get pregnant.

How old does a cat have to be in order to be pregnant?
Cats can get pregnant as early as six months. It's not good for them to reproduce early. Likewise, male cats can be viable early. Both sexes are prone to mature early when they suffered deprivation as kittens. Don't dawdle about getting any cat neutered or spayed because of their age. Thinking the cat will be fixed before kittens arrive is how we have so many kittens without homes.
What does it mean when a cat meows when she's pregnant?
