Age for neutering. Traditionally male and female cats have often been neutered at six months of age, but this is after many cats reach sexual maturity and not based on any scientific rationale. For social, health and population control reasons, it is now recommended neutering should routinely take place at around 4 months of age.
1 I take about 1 minute to neuter a male kitten of about 9 weeks of age compared to about 3-5 minutes maximum for an older tom. 2  The post-anaesthetic recovery time is quicker and there is less bleeding associated with an early spay or neuter procedure.
