Question
How old does my male kitten have to be before i can get him neutered?

Answer
Denise,

That depends upon your vet's preferences, some vets will do the surgery when the kitten is as young as 8 weeks old, others prefer to wait til they're 6 months old and many are comfortable with somewhere in between. I recommend that you have your kitten neutered as early as your vet is comfortable doing so, there are many health and behavioral benefits to neutering.
