I own mainly dogs, and the cat that I have I rescued. So I have never owned a kitten before. I was wondering when is a good age to spay/neuter. I know for dogs its at approx 6 months of age. I didn't know if the same help for cats or not.
THanks!

My vet says not before 6 months of age but I know that's up for debate w/some vets.

Depending on your vet, 6 months is a good guide. I've always had my cats spayed/neutered at 5 months to avoid them going into heat.

My boss recommends 6 months for female cats and 7 months for male cats. It's not a set in stone rule, he has sometimes neutered as young as 5 months if the cat starts acting like a tomcat (ie; fighting, spraying etc)
Dusty was already spayed when she showed up (RIP Dusty)
I had Jack neutered when he showed up at 7 months old
I had Pooky & Bear neutered at 5 1/2 months because they started fighting with each other and the other cats.
I had Cami spayed when she showed up at 1 year old.
I had Sassy & Sabrina spayed at 5 months because of having their intact brother in the house, I didn't want to take a chance on more kittens.
I had Josh neutered at 5 1/2 months because it worked out schedule wise for the surgery.
RIP Dusty July 2 2007 RIP Sabrina June 16 2011 RIP Jack July 2 2013 RIP Bear July 5 2016 RIP Pooky June 23 2018. RIP Josh July 6 2019 RIP Cami January 6 2022
