Breeding a cat?

Question

We've just gotten a siamese kitten.
She's 13 weeks old now.

We've decided to breed her when she reaches at least 1 year of age.
We have a friend who is a vet, and she has agreed to help us out.

And don't worry, we're only allowing her to have 1 litter.
We already have homes for half of the soon-to-be-born kittens
(crazy, I know.)

My question is,
after she has had one litter, when can she get spayed?
Or can she get spayed at all?

-_-
you guys annoy me.
xP

Did you ever realize that maybe people can have
1 cat from a litter, and one cat from a pound?
=/
Plus, most of the soon-to-be-owners already have cats from the pound.

So, can you possibly THINK before you say something?

-_-
We're selling one of the cats to someone who has 5 cats, and they're all from the pound.
We're selling to another person who has 1 cat that's from the pound, and has their cat pregnant, as well. (but they're keeping the whole litter)

And we're paying 300$ to the breeder so she can't take a cat to be a stud.
We're spaying all of the cats before we give them away.

>.<
Does that sound worse?

Answer 1

Good luck with your venture into pedigree cat breeding. I hope you have a lot of fun. It is important that people set a good example by breeding in the right way otherwise those kittens who come into the world the wrong way are the only ones that get bred at all, so pay no attention to those people who think that doing it the right way is wrong!

You can have her spayed after the kittens have completed their course of vaccinations. So if you get the injections done at 9 and 12 weeks then you can get her spayed after that.

You need to wait until then as kittens need an opportunity to suckle and get antibodies from their mother's milk up until they get the protection of immunisation. Also by this point her milk should be dwindling, but wait a little longer if she still seems to be producing a lot of milk. Once the kittens all go if she is still lcatating the milk will dry up after a week of not being drunk. She may have a call at this point and if she does wait until she has come off call first before having her spayed.

Answer 2

why don't YOU think before you say something?

Over 6 million dogs and cats are euthanized each year in the US alone. This includes adorable puppies and kittens, dogs and cats. the homes you think you have lined up mean some other adorable kitten in some shelter won't get adopted and will die through no fault of it's own.

There is no excuse to breed a dog or a cat. In my neighborhood there are lots of feral cats and some of them are siamese. There is no market for those nice little cats, so don't fool yourself into thinking you are providing someone with a unique animal. You are adding to the horrible overpopulation of pets who are born only to die a miserable death.

Answer 3

You said you have a friend who is a vet that is helping you bring more cats into a world that is already over-populated with cats. She should be able to answer this for you.
PS - Keep in mind, for every kitten your cat has, that is a chance at a home that is being taken from a cat living in a cage at a shelter.

Answer 4

Breeding anything is a very dumb idea. Making money off of any kind of animal is cruel. Almost 70,000 Cats and Dogs are born in America each day due to uncontrolled breeding. This survey happened in 1997, you can only imagine how big that number is today. Why breed more animals when others are simply going to die because of it? How many people say "I'll just breed them once, only once"? I understand, you just want to breed her once, but how many people are saying it? Just one litter turns into 100 litters, turns into a thousand litters. How many cats are in a litter? 3-6? Thats 3,000 to 6,000 cats that just happened by saying "Just one litter".

Answer 5

To answer just your question and not go off onto something totally else. The cat can be spayed once the kittens are weaned and her milk has started to dry up.

Answer 6

Before you decide to breed your cat, please visit your local shelter, and talk with them about how many cats and kittens they must put down for lack of homes. We just adopted a kitty yesterday, and it was heartbreaking to see all the wonderful cats and kittens there, knowing that most of them won't find homes - I wanted to take them all! Perhaps the people you know who want kittens could be persuaded to adopt from a shelter instead?

Answer 7

She can be spayed after giving birth but I don't know the time frame.Your vet will be able to help you there.

Answer 8

that happend with me breeding my ragdoll you have to wait until the kittens stop nursing and she cant be in heat when she gets spayed

Answer 9

let me get this straight, you want to breed a cat? Dogs i vcan un derstand, but cats? You found somebody who would pay for them, when they could just get them from shelters at a lower cost? I don't believe how stupid people are, not you, the people who are bying your cats.

Answer 10

She can be spayed once the kittens are weaned. Good luck :)
