Spay/Neuter FAQ

What is the minimum age for surgery?  Kittens must be at least 8 weeks old and 2.2 pounds.  Pediatric patients bounce back from surgery very quickly.

At what age can a female cat become pregnant?  Females generally become sexually mature at six months of age.   Spaying younger cats can help end the cycle of overpopulation.

Can a nursing mother by spayed?  It is recommended to wait 2-3 weeks after a mother has weaned her kittens before bringing her in for surgery.

Can a brother and sister from the same litter mate?  A brother and sister from the same litter can create their own litters by the age of six months if not spayed and neutered.

Will neutering my male cat stop him from spraying? For best results, it is best to alter males before they reach six months of age.  If a cat is currently spraying, neutering may help to curb this behavior within 6-8 weeks of surgery.
