While spaying is traditionally recommended for kitties between 4 and 6 months of age, spaying as young as 8 weeks old is considered safe, according to Cat Channel. Many animal shelters actually spay kitties prior to adopting them out at this age.
Spaying prevents deadly infections of the uterus. 1  Nearly 1 in 4 intact females will develop an infection called pyometra. The uterus swells with toxic pus and the only cure is an emergency spay. 2  If your dog is spayed before 2-1/2 years old, she is less likely to develop mammary tumors (about half are malignant). Spaying prevents false pregnancy. A few weeks after a heat period, some intact females act as though they're going to have pups.
