I have had cats all my life, and I just recently had my little girl fixed. It is recommended that you get it done before 6 months because they can start to have kittens at that age. I take my cats to a cat clinic that deals with only cats and they say 4-6 months is the best time to do it. Good luck!!

Usually pretty young, your vet will know for sure but it's less than 1 year. Probably something like 3 months old. But check with your vet. But I think they like to do it when they are really young because then they heal much much faster.
Best of Luck to you and your kitty.
P.S. They will eat a lot once they are fixed... we have a male cat that once fix just ate and ate and ate. He is about 4 years old now and weighs 24 lbs. One Big Cat.

They do it a lot younger now. My kittens were fixed when I got them at 12 weeks and 14 weeks (they got fixed the day before they came home). I think they just want them to be over a certain weight a lot of the time.

I got mine spayed at 6 months. oh, and after you get her spayed she will begin to eat like there's not tomorrow. so you may have to put her on a diet if necessary. my cat is 2 years old now and she already weighs about 15 lbs. watch out for that after she's fixed.

As soon as your vet will do the operation. I would recommend no later than five months, although six is the 'standard.' Some vets will go early as three. Cats can get pregnant before six months. I have seen it with my own eyes!

I have 5 cats (ALL female, ALL fixed). They were ALL fixed at 5 months old.

Most won't do a spay until she's at least 3 months old, or at least 2 pounds. if it's a boy, he can be neutered as early as 6 weeks. Neutering isn't as invasive as spaying

At least 6 months.

As mentioned before, you should ask your vet. The sooner, the better! We had our cat fixed too late and he is unplayful and very mean to outsiders.
