What Age Should a Cat be Neutered?

Weekly Expert Pet Advice
with Dr. James Glover, Resident Expert

  
   

I am getting 3 kittens in two weeks time, two brothers and a sister. When is the earliest I can get them neutered as I don't want the girl cat to have kittens. (Maria, UK)

There is always some veterinary disagreement over what age is best for spaying a cat, but in the UK this usually happens between the ages of about five to six months.
