Getting Angel spayed

Our baby will be six months Jan. 12. I cannot get her done until Jan. 7. If she happens to come into heat before then, will her personality be permanently changed & will bad habits (peeing) be permanent? I have done everything but breast feed this kitten trying to do everything right. Worried Mom

Hi Margo and welcome to TCS. I've moved your thread to our Health forum, where you should get some good advice.

Most kittys seem to go into heat more between 7 and 8 months, but that's not to say she won't before then. If she does go into heat before her spay you should not see any undesireable behaviors once she is spayed

Thank you - thank you for the reassuring words. We did not get our 13 year old male neutered soon enough and he pees till this day! Not often & it is no longer strong (my adorable Old Man) but I don't want the same behavior with her. Also, I was afraid having one heat might change her personality due to the hormones. We're just holding our breath that she doesn't come into heat before 6 months.

Unfortunately, Dori did not get spayed until she was a year old. She went into heat a few times and after I got her fixed I had no problems at all. She had peed in a few places before getting fixed and that has never happened since. Also her personality didn't change either. She is still my sweet little girl

Another good word of encouragement - thanks.
