I'm having a problem with my six and a half month old kitten. I tried to claim her down but it just seems like she's been in heat for about a month. What can I do to help her out?
It's time to get her spayed. We recommend they be done by the age of four months because they can get pregnant that young. If money is an issue, there are low cost services available in your area. Here is a list of possibilities:

The only thing that will calm her down is spaying. Mating will calm her down for awhile but them you will have a litter of kittens and she will probably go back into heat before the kittens are fully weaned. That is the nature of cats, extremely prolific breeders That was how cats as a species survived as small animals in a desert climate.
