Early Age Spay / Neuter

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) endorses early-age spay/neuter.

Some people delay spay /neuter for their pet because they've heard the animal must be six months or older. Although many older veterinarians were taught that, a number of studies show that cats as young as eight weeks have no problems later in life due to early age spay/neuter. Plus, young kittens bounce back faster from the procedures than older kittens or cats do after the alter. 

Some veterinarians may not be familiar with the procedure or have no experience performing the surgery on younger cats, so do check with your local veterinarians to find one who is comfortable with and informed about this procedure.
