What Is Cat Neutering?
Cat neutering, or cat castration, is a routine surgical procedure to prevent both male and female cats from reproducing. In female cats, it is commonly referred to as cat spaying. In male cats, it is referred to as castration. It is performed under general anaesthetic and it is considered a highly safe and effective way of preventing pregnancy and safeguarding your pet's long-term health and happiness.
At Local Vets, we perform these procedures with care and precision. We ensure minimal discomfort and stress for your pet, focusing on delivering a swift and attentive procedure.
While the surgery can typically be done from around six months of age, your vet will evaluate factors surrounding your pet to determine what is the best timing for them. Trust Local Vets to provide the expert care your pet deserves during their neutering procedure, and take the next important step for your cat's long-term well-being today.

What are the Advantages of Cat Neutering in Dudley?
Cat neutering has many benefits that can improve your pet’s quality of life. These benefits should be discussed with your vet to make sure neutering or spaying is a suitable option for your pet.
Female Cats:
- Removes the risk of an unplanned pregnancy.
- Bitches left unneutered can develop reproductive problems (eg. breast cancer or pyometra – infection of the womb) which can be prevented with early neutering.
Male Cats:
- For males, castration significantly reduces the risk of developing the prostate disease, along with many other health benefits that can be discussed with your vet.
- Decreases the possibility of tumours and hernias around the bottom, which are common in older, unneutered pets.
- Both castrated and entire males can make excellent pets, however, dogs that show signs of aggression should be considered for castration although this will not guarantee the correction of the behavioural problem.

When Should I Neuter My Cat?
Best Age for Cat Spaying and Castration
Timing is crucial when it comes to spaying or castrating your cat. As they tend to become sexually mature around five months old, it’s wise to plan ahead.
If you have a female kitten, male cats may begin seeking her out as early as four months, which raises the risk of early pregnancy. To avoid this, early neutering is recommended, ideally after their initial pet vaccinations.
For females, spaying can take place around four months of age. Male kittens, on the other hand, will undergo a quick procedure commonly called "the snip," which also helps curb behaviours like territorial spraying.
After the surgery, your cat will be able to explore and enjoy a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle, including climbing, roaming, socialising and playing. Without the risk of mating or contributing to the growing stray population!
