Your local veterinarian's office can provide you with a list of vaccines your kitten will need. Your kitten needs 3 main vaccinations: Rabies, FDRTCC, and Feline Leukemia. Both the FDRTCC and the Feline Leukemia vaccines will need "boosters". The proper time to start getting vaccines is at 6 weeks. You could get both the neuter and vaccines at the same time. However, you will need to return 3 weeks after your first FDRTCC and Feline Leukemia for the "boosters". Vaccinations are extremely important to keep your cat healthy!
The proper age to get your kitten spayed or neutered is 4 to 6 months old.

Your kitten should have already started shots and been dewormed. But it is now old enough for all vetting and neuter.
I am so glad you want to keep a healthy cat!! The vet should do a good checkup and give him whatever shots he should have and deworm. And set up the appointment for the surgery in next few weeks.
Thank you so much for caring to ask and being a responsible pet owner. One unfixed cat can make a lot of babies and there are not enough homes for all of them. One unneutered male can populate a whole neigborhood. Also, unneutered males tend to roam, get lost or injured. There are some real nasty cat diseases out there that will kill cats so he does need all those shots.

If he is an outside cat do it ASAP. I put mine off and almost lost him. He got into a wicked fight and got an infection. So, get the boy fixed, shots for health start now too. Don't forget worming. All kittens are born with worms and need a regeim for a while to make sure they don't get reinfested. Especially if it is an outside cat. Good luck and enjoy.

Get shots now and set up appointment to get her fixed.If it's a female fix her now,there new studies that show that the longer you wait to get a male fixed the less problems you have when they're older (around 7 months).Either way the vet will want to vaccinate her now talk to you about spay/neutering.

Good time to have it done. Shots, he should already be getting them...but it's ok. Fixed--most vets do it as early as 4 mths but the common age is 6 mths or older.

He is probably ready for both right now. I would suggest that you get the shots first, so he has immunity before the surgery.. That way he won't pick up sicknesses at the vet while weakened by surgery.

The shots should have started at 6 weeks. Take him to the vet and start his shots the Vet will tell you when it is best to neuter him

Right away, before six months, because as soon as your cat goes into heat then your going to have problems....sometimes. Try and get the cat fixed before the first heat.

Call a Vet's office. They will answer all your questions and tell you if there is any sickness going around you need to watch out for. Free call, best advise.
