Neutering Benefits
Most of the objections put forward against neutering are unfounded worries. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to speak to us.
We advise male cats are castrated between 5 and 6 months to:
- stop development of that potent male cat scent in the urine
- reduce territorial fighting (and thus reduce risk of contracting Feline Aids (FIV))
- reduce territorial urine spraying/marking
- reduce tendency to wander far from home (so reducing risks of car accidents)
- reduce numbers of unwanted kittens
We recommend that female cats or queens are spayed between 5 and 6 months to:
- stop your cat having unwanted litters of kittens
- reduce unwanted attention (and resultant smell) from entire Tom
- stop her "calling" - a distressing wailing sound .
