Or ask your vet at what weight/age they prefer to neuter kitties.

I am having Jax neutered at 4 months. If you read books, they say 4-6 months. I am doing mine the earliest that my vet said was ok for his weight and age because I really don’t want the hormones to kick in and some people have even had male kittens that sexually matured at 3 and half months. My vet said 4 months is fine. I think you can wait, but I just didn’t want any sexual behaviors or spraying or whatever is that they do to happen.

They can usually go it as early as 2 months if he’s at least 2 lbs and his testes have dropped. I think 4-6 months is pretty standard.

I am planning on taking Hurley in at 4 months, like everyone else I dont want those hormones to start kicking in before he goes in. Enough hormones and he is going to want out and that cant happen where we live, possums, skunks, a billion bunnies, squirrels,a hawk or two, and the pack of coyotes living in the waterway behind my house are not good friends for my baby kitty.

I was ready to have it done last month but the vet thought waiting was good.

Hurley Curley is SO cute! Just say no to teenage hormones tee hee. I also read that it’s good to let their urinary tract and stuff to develop a little bit before you do it.

good so i have some time i want to get it done as early a possible since i have logan who is also a male he is neutered but i guessed freeway would do the spraying if not nuetered. freeway will never be an outside cat but well it has to be done and the earlier the better i think i will call the vet a ask i guess i should have done that in the first place but i havent really picked a vet yet and i want the vet that nueters him to be the permanent vet

Well, it’s not neuturing (spaying for me) but the first time Rox had her shots the vet was wanting me to schedule a spa day for her! She was 2 months/3lbs and I looked at her and said NO! She’s my little baby girl lol Well, I am getting her done next month I think. She will have had all of her shots and will be 5 months and she weighs 4.5lbs now. I know you can get them done so young but just the thought of my little girl coming home with a big girl scar on her tummy 🙁 It makes me a little sad she is growing up so quick…

Besides, the younger you get them done, the quicker they bounce back. Although Hurley and Jax will have a better go of it than Rox since neutering is much less envasive than spaying. *sigh* and less expensive…oh well! 🙂

Yes I can totally understand that Roxysmeowmy. The surgery for girlie cats seems to be a bigger deal.
