How old does a kitten have too be before it can be spayed?

Answers:
Recommended age is 6 months. My little girls Cally and Daisy are off to the vets tomorrow for the operation and they are exactly 6 months old. We have 16 cats both domestic and feral and always follow the vets advice.

Many rescues %26 shelters get their kittens spayed/neutered when they are 2 months old, as long as they weigh 2lbs at the time. Consult your vet, as several prefer to wait until the kitten is closer to 6 months old. (I prefer to get them spayed/neutered as soon as possible).

i think you have to do it as soon as posible

---

usually around 6 months. most places wont do it before then.

---

They can be spayed around 5 or 6 months

---

they say 6 months thats when i got mine done

---

You are going to get alot of differnt answers to this question personally I do not get any of our animals fixed until they are 6 months old. You best bet is to talk to you vet and see what they think!! Good Luck

Some veterinarians will spay or neuter kittens as young as 6-8 weeks and weighing at least 2 pounds so they can be adopted faster but mainly most vets will spay 4-8 months of age.

It depends where you live but if you are in the UK and a girl cat it can be done by three months ( some vets will even do it sooner ) and boys can be done earlier if their scrotums can be seen. If you have a mum cat with kittens you need to make sure the babies don't suckle after mums op plus well done for thinking about this early on because so many people don't realise that a kitten aged six or seven month can have babies of her own which is just so sad xxxxxxx

At least 6 months old.

---

usually around 4 - 5months of age as this is when the female can become impregnated

---

I have owned several cats over the years and have had them all spayed at around 6 months, they are robust enough at that age to cope with the op.

---

usually at around 5months...

---

ask your vet because cats either have to reach a certain weight for example with my vet they have to a minimum weight of 3kg or be at least 5 months old.

Hi

6 months old

---

Hi, usually it's about six months. But my advice to you is just ring your local vet and they will tell you. It's only the cost of a phone call.
