Congratulations!!! You must be so excited...

Your breeder will most likely give you his/her oppinion on when they suggest you do this...mine said between 6-7 months...Bentley and Alastair were done 6 months on the dot and Finster was pushing 8 months because he had an upper respiratory and we wanted that to clear...

Most people just want it taken care of BEFORE they start spraying/marking your home.

But talk to your breeder...mine actually had it listed on her paperwork along with some other helpful suggestions...Good luck with them!!

Hi,

Just wanted to mention that my kittens were neutered at 12 weeks by the breeder's vet. This seems early to some, but with my first cat, Gus, the Humane Society of North Texas neutered him at 6 weeks bc they do all kittens before they are adopted. I do think Gus got a ponch from it, but he did weigh a lot in general.

Hope all is going well with the babies.
