No care needed, really. The cat will want to be alone for awhile so give it a place to rest where it's quiet, and give it fresh food and water. If the vet gave you meds, be sure the cat gets them on schedule. It should be back to normal in a couple of days.

None to speak of. By neuter, I assume you mean a male cat (some people call it neutering in females too). It's best to keep kitty inside for at least 24, preferably 48 hours after surgery (my cats are indoor only). Even if the anesthesia has worn off, he still might be less alert for a day or two. Problems are rare in male cats. Just keep an eye on him... dont let him lick his incision area too much (enough to keep it clean is okay) and make sure he doesn't pull at any sutures he might have. Keep an eye on the incision area that it does not become swollen or irritated or oozing or bleeding. If it does, it could be the start of an infection and you'll want to have him seen right away (or at least call) and get some antibiotic creme to put on it (or oral pills).
It's amazing how fast the boys recuperate. Especially with young kittens, they're bouncing off the walls again the same day! You'd think they'd want to curl up and sleep but nope! Good luck with your boy!

Post-op recovery
You will need to watch to make sure your cat does not try to pull out
its stitches. Consult your vet if your cat starts pulling at its
stitches. You might, in persistent cases, need to get an elizabethan
collar to prevent the cat from reaching the stitches. Puffiness,
redness, or oozing around the stiches should be also reported to the
vet.
Some stitches "dissolve" on their own; others require a return to the
vet for removal. Some vets, especially with male cats, may use "glue"
instead, which works as well in most cases and does not require later
removal.
You should note that male cats will take some time to flush all
testosterone and semen out of their systems. There have been recorded
cases of "neutered" cats impregnating female cats shortly after their
operation. Three to four weeks is sufficient time for neutered toms to
become sterile

Instead of litter for the first week after a neuter procedure you should use shredded paper or a product called yesterday's news to avoid irritating your cats surgery site. Good luck...

Useing shreddded newspaper in the litter box is a good idea. Just make sure the incsion is clean. Don't feed him unitl the vet ok's it, keep the house quite and try to keep him calm.

Nothing really. Try to keep him from jumping on and off of things for a couple of days and don't let him outside yet. Thats it..One more thing, check his bottom area 1-2 times daily to make sure it looks ok.

Other than watching to make sure they don't pull stitches out, observing the incision to make sure isn't infected or irritated, watching water and food and output levels, there really isn't any PHYSICAL post operative care. If they start acting "anything other than normal for them" take them back in to the vet.
Shredded paper is for declawing. (Boy kitties don't generally squat low enough to get litter on their butts.)
And kudos to you for caring enough about your babies to have them fixed!

Not much, I had my dog neutered and didn't need to do anything. The vet will probably put a collar on it so it won't lick at the stitches.
