When should I spay or neuter my cat?
AI Answer
Most vets recommend spaying or neutering cats around 4–6 months, before the first heat. Cats can get pregnant as early as 4 months.
Benefits: no litters, less spraying and roaming, and lower risk of mammary cancer and uterine infection. Many Canadian humane societies run low-cost spay and neuter clinics.
