While spaying is traditionally recommended for kitties between 4 and 6 months of age, spaying as young as 8 weeks old is considered safe, according to Cat Channel. Many animal shelters actually spay kitties prior to adopting them out at this age.
Shelters canât wait until kittens are six months old before neutering and spaying. They donât have the room, and it would deprive potential adopters of experiencing the joys of their kittenâs kittenhood. Studies have shown that kittens can be spayed and neutered as early as 8 weeks of age, with no deleterious effect.Your cat, at 16 weeks of age, can be spayed with no worries at all.Regards, Arnold Plotnick, DVM.his is because if a kitten is adopted out to a home at the age of 8 or 9 weeks, a significant percentage of the adopters fail to spay or neuter their cat, even if the adoption fee includes a free spay and neuter.
