In females a neuter is called a ‘spay’, in males it is called ‘castration’.   A spay is removal of the ovaries and the womb, a castration is removal of the testicles.   We recommend spaying or neutering your cat as this will prevent unwanted pregnancies, reduce the risk of certain types of cancer and can reduce undesirable behaviour such as wandering & urine spraying in males.   We recommend neutering from 6 months of age onwards One of our team will advise you on the best plan for neutering or spaying your pet.
