Spaying or Neutering Your Cat

This surgery is an important decision during early kitten health care that we at Banfield strongly support. To give your cat a long and happy life, we recommend neutering or spaying kittens at four to six months old.

This surgery can prevent many problems down the road, such as uterine infections, cat fights, spraying, and the serious issues associated with cat overpopulation. For these reasons, spaying and neutering is good for you, your cat and the Pet population in general. Though routine and generally safe, both spays (which are technically known as ovariohysterectomies) and neutering are major surgeries that require general anesthetic and an all-day stay. At Banfield, The Pet Hospital®, our expertise and experience has lead us to use only human-quality anesthetic agents to give cats the safest, speediest, smoothest recoveries possible.
