Neutering Female Cats (Spaying)

The female cat reaches sexual maturity between five to eight months of age. When she reaches sexual maturity she will come into season and become receptive to a male cat.

Seasons in female cats are characterised by excessive vocalisation, increased affection and sticking her bottom up in the air when stroked. The season will last for three days and she will cycle every three weeks until she is mated or neutered.
We recommend that you spay her between five and six months old before she has her first season.
 
Carrying out the procedure whilst she is in season carries a greater risk to her because the uterus is more vascular (it has a greater blood supply) at this time.
