cats

after a cat has given birth to kittens when can she be neutered?

[lankeela]

6 - 8 weeks after the birth of the kittens, but be careful about letting her out, as she can get pregnant again 4 weeks after giving birth!

[wiggal]

As soon as the kittens are no longer feeding from her and are on solid food as once she is nuetered, it can dry out the milk supply.

Following on from lankeela & wiggal's helpful answers, if you scroll down to Question No. 9 on this link, it will give you some more information:

P.S. Just thought I'd mention that Females are 'spade' & Males are 'neutered'.

[lankeela]

I disagree, both sexes are neutered, females are spayed and males are castrated!

[smudge]

Back again - where did that come from? You're quite right lankeela!

I meant to type females are spayed & males are 'castrated'.

(Neutered applies to both sexes of course)!

Less haste more speed!
