How old does a male kitten have to be before he can be desexed?

Answer 1

In California and other states, neutering of 8 week old male kittens has been normal procedure for some time. Generally speaking, vets will wait until about 6 months when the testicles are distended, which means they have dropped and are fully visible.

Answer 2

I have three male cats. Two are both 16 years old the other is 4. You need to desex before they learn to spray. Once they spray they will always spray even after desexing them. So the sooner the better. My son got a kitten from the paws and he was told as early as 12 weeks is fine. So I'd do it soon.

Answer 3

Depends where you live. In some countries, they will neuter a male as early as 10-12 weeks. Generally, between 4-6 months is recommended.

Answer 4

5 to 6 months.

Answer 5

5 1/2 to six months old is a safe time to do it they are less likely to have a reaction to the sedative,and are strong enough to make it through the surgery

Answer 6

I believe you have to wait at least six months. My grandmother tried to get her cat done and she had to wait untill he was a full six months old before the vet would do it

Answer 7

to make an educated guess, about 5 or 6 months?

Answer 8

MY GIRL KITTEN HAD TO BE 4 MONTHS BEFORE SHE COULD BE SPAYED, SO I GUESS ITS PROBLY THE SAME FOR A MALE TO BE NEUTERED.

Answer 9

My little guy was 3 months old when they fixed him at the SPCA.

Answer 10

whenever you can successfully get a rubber band around those things
