Spaying a Cat After Her Litter
hello I am
the owner of a part burmese cat over here in Australia. My problem is,
how soon after she has kittens, do I get her desexed? I was not quick
enough after her first litter and she now has a second. they are about 6
weeks old now and I am afraid of her being pregnant again.
Cats can
become pregnant within months of giving birth. Although a cat can be
spayed at any point, it is best to wait until the litter of kittens is
weaned. The mammary glands and uterus will be much small then, making
the spay easier and safer. Specifically, six to ten weeks after giving
birth your cat can be spayed.
