Why Spaying or Neutering Your Cat is So Important
While your cat may never wander far from your cozy living room or sun-drenched windowsill, spaying or neutering is still one of the best decisions you can make for their health and happiness. Here’s why:
Health Benefits
-
Spayed females are protected from life-threatening uterine infections (like pyometra) and have a significantly lower risk of mammary cancer, which is malignant 90% of the time in cats.
-
Neutered males are less likely to develop testicular cancer and experience fewer hormone-related issues like aggression or roaming that can result in vehicular trauma or fights with other cats.
Behavior Improvements
-
Neutering helps curb territorial spraying, yowling, and the urge to escape and find a mate.
-
Spaying prevents the heat cycle in female cats, which often causes restlessness, excessive vocalization, and erratic, sometimes obnoxious, behavior.
Reducing Overpopulation
-
Even a single unplanned litter can contribute to the already overwhelming number of cats in shelters. By spaying or neutering, you’re helping reduce feline overpopulation and giving more cats the chance to find loving homes just like yours.

When Should My Cat Be Spayed or Neutered?
We typically recommend spaying or neutering your cat around 5 to 6 months of age, before the first heat cycle or onset of sexual maturity. However, it’s never too late. Adult cats can still safely undergo the procedure and enjoy the same health and behavioral benefits.
