Cats Protection supports the neutering of all cats not required for breeding in order to reduce the number of strays. Neutering is a surgical procedure which renders the cat incapable of breeding; female cats are spayed, male cats are castrated.

Neutering

• helps to reduce the number of unwanted cats and kittens
• makes cats safer, healthier and happier
• means cats are less likely to wander, protect their territory or get into fights which in turn could lead to catching diseases through bites

.
Cats can start having babies from around six months so both males and females should be neutered from the age of five months or as advised by your vet.

MYTH: Female cats do not need to have a litter first before being speyed.

FACT: Overfeeding makes cats fat, not neutering.
