NEUTERING OF CATS

 

 

We recommend neutering of all cats not being kept for breeding purposes.       

Cats can be fertile from as early as 4 1/2 months and can have 4 or more

litters a year. Tom cats can cover large areas looking for females on heat

and will get into fights with other tom cats returning with wounds,

abscesses, road traffic accidents and  possible viral diseases like feline

aids and feline leukaemia.

 

Cats can be neutered ideally around 5-6 months.

       Try and keep your cat indoors until it is has been neutered or you could

        risk the chance of unwanted kittens. 

 

If your female has just had a litter of kittens, it is best to spay her 6-8 weeks

 after giving birth.                                                                                       

                                                                                                  

Neutering does not necessarily stop spraying but cats are less likely to spray

       after being neutered and the odour of urine is less pungent.
