at what age should cats be spayed
Spaying (ovario-hysterectomy) The surgical removal of the reproductive organs (ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tubes) of a female animal. Puppies and kittens of both sexes should be spayed or neutered by 6 months of age. Female cats can go into estrus ('heat') at as young as 4 months.More and more veterinarians are performing early-age spay/ neuter procedures on animals as young as 8 weeks of age, to ensure the animal will never be at risk of accidental pregnancy or able to impregnate.yth: It's healthier for a female to have one litter before she is spayed. Fact: A female should ideally be spayed before her first estrus cycle. Early-age spaying (as young as 8 weeks) greatly reduces the likelihood of mammary tumors, uterine infections, and of course, unplanned pregnancy.
