Just like humans all cats are different. You don't know when they are coming into heat. Mittens was about 8-9 months and got pregnant. She was spayed after nursing her kittens for 6 weeks. Then we had a stray to appear as a kitten and she was 6-8 months when she became pregnant. She was so young and really didn't know what to do and her one kitten ended up dying after 2 days. She would clean it but wouldn't lay still for it to nurse. She would also lay on it. The kitten wasn't crying so I thought it was getting nursed. (That is what a vet had once told me) Depending if you want them to have a first litter or not, I would say around 6 months, but just call you favorite vet in your area and they will be able to tell you more specific.

Kittens can be spayed as early as 8-10 weeks; however, many veterinarians prefer to wait until they are about four to five pounds, as before this time, the blood vessels supplying the ovaries (which are removed when a kitten is spayed) are very tiny, and can be difficult to work with.

Our shelter does pediatric spay and neuter, when theyre 2 pounds at least and healthy. The kittens actually do very well. Some vets want to wait until 6 months which is kind of pointless seeing that SOME cats can sexually mature earlier than that.

The rescue I work with spays/neuters kittens at 8 weeks or 2 pounds. The kittens bounce back much quicker than older cats.

Seven months is much too late. They can be spayed at two months or two pounds which is when most shelters are doing it now before they are adopted into homes. Call 1-800-spayUSA for a clinic near you where you can have it done.
The Winn Feline Health Foundation did a long-term study of early spay/neuter and found there were no deleterious effects to doing it early. It is also much easier on the kittens to do it early.

they will spay feral kittens as early as 8 weeks or 2 pounds. If it was a house cat that was not feral I would wait a little bit longer but no longer than 6 months.

I had a boy kitten, the vet said 6 months, but you couldn't pet him without that "thing" comming out, he was 4 months and I insisted, and the vet said boy kittens were prone to urinary infections, that's why 6 months. But they did it at 4 months and he was fine.

Preferably at 6 months or before.. certainly before they go into or have their first HEAT... Personally, I prefer at the 3 month time period and encourage that for cat owners
