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.
To avoid either issue, you can have your little one neutered or spayed as early as 6 to 8 weeks old. Maturity Once a kitten reaches sexual maturity, usually between 4 and 6 months of age, he is able to produce offspring. This means that your little girl kitten could be giving birth to little kittens well before she's 1 year old. Your kitten's behavior will also change once he or she hits puberty: Male kitties begin to spray smelly urine to mark their territory, and females yowl when in heat.
