Due to over-population, millions of healthy, loving cats and kittens face early deaths by euthanasia as the unfortunate choice for animal control. Others are left outside to fend for themselves against automobiles, natural elements, and cruel human beings. Spaying and neutering of both pets and community cats is the only answer!!
The optimal age to spay/neuter cats is before they reach 5 months of age. For most vets, however, the rule of thumb is a weight of 5# or 6 months. Be sure to get your cat to the vet for its rabies and distemper shots by 4 months of age, and get that appointment made for spay/neuter to ensure you have the appointment booked ahead of time! For community (outside) cats, spay/neuter can generally be done at a younger age.
