Explanation of test results: If the result of the HCV RIBA is positive, this confirms that the detection of a hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV) was a true positive, meaning that there has been infection with hepatitis C in the past.
Kittens should be spayed or neutered when they reach sexual maturity, which is usually between four and six months of age. However a cat can be safely spayed or neutered at any age, so even older adopted cats should have this procedure. Some rescue organizations participate in a âcatch and releaseâ program where homeless cats are captured, neutered or spayed and released. This is considered more humane than euthanizing strays.
How Old Does a Cat Have to be for a Spay or Neuter Procedure? Can You Spay a Cat in Heat? According to the ASPCA, cats can be spayed or neutered as young as eight weeks old. They recommend scheduling the procedure before your cat is five months old to avoid urine spraying behavior and eliminate the chance of pregnancy. The ASPCA also states that female cats can be spayed while in heat.
