What Does Cat Neutering Involve?
Cat neutering, also known as spaying (for females) or castration (for males) – is a routine surgical procedure that prevents unwanted pregnancies and supports your cat’s long-term health and well-being. The procedure is carried out under general anaesthetic and is widely recognised as a safe and effective method for both male and female cats.
At Local Vets, with clinics in Halesowen and Oldbury, we carry out every pet neutering procedure with expert care and attention. Our experienced team ensures your cat is comfortable, minimising stress and recovery time while prioritising their safety every step of the way.
Neutering is generally recommended from around six months of age, but our vets will assess your cat’s individual needs to determine the best time for the procedure.
Choose Local Vets in Birmingham for trusted, compassionate neutering services—and take a vital step toward your cat’s healthier, happier future.
Why Should You Neuter Your Cat?
If you're a caring and responsible cat owner, spaying or castrating your cat is one of the most important decisions you can make for their health and their long-term happiness. It also plays a vital role in supporting the local Birmingham community by reducing unwanted litters and helping to manage the stray cat population. Here's all the benefits:
-
Reduces roaming behaviours – helping keep your cat safe from accidents or getting lost
-
Lowers the risk of mammary tumours and breast cancer in female cats
-
Prevents unwanted pregnancies and potentially life-threatening womb infections
-
Helps curb aggression and territorial behaviour
-
Prevents testicular cancer and prostate disease in male cats
-
Reduces cat-to-cat fighting, lowering the risk of injury and disease
At Local Vets, your pet’s health and happiness are our top priorities. If you’re unsure about the best time to neuter your cat, don’t hesitate to call our team. For example, you could get your pet neutered at the same time as getting them microchipped, saving you time.
Advantages of Cat Neutering in Birmingham
Cat neutering offers a range of health and behavioural benefits that can greatly improve your pet’s quality of life. At Local Vets, with clinics in Halesowen and Oldbury, we encourage all pet owners in Birmingham to discuss these benefits with our experienced team to determine the best approach for their individual cat.
For Female Cats (Spaying):
-
Eliminates the risk of unplanned pregnancies
-
Reduces the risk of serious reproductive health issues, such as mammary tumours and pyometra (a potentially life-threatening womb infection)
-
Helps reduce unwanted behaviours associated with being in heat
For Male Cats (Castration):
-
Significantly reduces the risk of prostate disease
-
Lowers the chance of testicular cancer and other health issues
-
Can decrease aggressive behaviour and reduce spraying/marking
-
Minimises the risk of roaming and fighting, helping to prevent injuries and disease transmission
While both neutered and unneutered cats can make wonderful companions, neutering is often recommended—especially if your cat shows signs of roaming, aggression, or territorial behaviour. However, every pet is different, so it’s important to have an open conversation with your vet about the best course of action.

When Should My Cat Be Neutered?
Best Ages for Cat Spaying and Castration
Timing is key when it comes to spaying or castrating your cat. Most cats reach sexual maturity by around five months of age, so it’s important to plan ahead to prevent unwanted pregnancies and unwanted behaviours.
If you have a female kitten, unneutered males may begin to seek her out from as early as four months old, putting her at risk of becoming pregnant. To avoid this, early neutering is recommended—ideally after your cat has completed their initial vaccinations.
-
Female cats can usually be spayed from around four months of age.
-
Male kittens can undergo a simple castration procedure—often referred to as "the snip"—which also helps reduce behaviours such as territorial spraying and roaming.
After surgery, your cat can continue to live a happy, healthy, and active life—climbing, playing, exploring and socialising—but without the risk of unwanted mating or contributing to the stray cat population.
At Local Vets in Oldbury, we’re here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring your cat receives the best possible care.
