Some of the benefits of neutering can be:
Neutered male cats- Will become less likely to roam (reducing the risk of being run over).
- Will become less likely to fight, thus improving their chances of avoiding serious diseases, like feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) which are transmitted by cat bites and reproductive activity.
- Will be less likely to mark their territory with urine (spraying).
Female cats
- Can avoid unwanted pregnancies (It is NOT beneficial for a female cat to have a litter before spaying, this is a myth).
- Won't call and wail during their sexual cycle.
- Will be less likely to contract diseases spread by bites and reproductive activity.
Cats recover very quickly from neutering operations but we'd recommend following your vet's advice on how to look after your cat after his operation.
Did you know that...
There are thousands of unwanted felines in the UK, please don't add to that number! Be a responsible owner and have your cat neutered (both males and females) between four and six months of age.
Neutering, castration for male cats and spaying for females, is a routine operation, costing between £20 and £50. It has numerous benefits for your cat.
