What age to Spay and nueter

Question
I have two 8 week old kittens boy and girl and was wondering  if they need to be a certain age before you spay and neuter them? Thanks for your time, Jason

Answer
Jason,

What I have seen is that kittens can be neutered/spayed as young as 12 weeks of age as long as they weigh at least 4 pounds.  On the other hand, females can come into season as young as 4.5 months of age and, a male who showed no interest before, can suddenly get the urge.

So, you can have them neutered and spayed at 4 months of age.  If your vet balks at this, refer them to:
