Do any of you use some form of birth control for your cats? I have an 8-week-old female kitten. Due to geographical location, I am unable to get her fixed at this age. (earliest 5 months). she's also got 2 brothers. I would like to give her some sort of birth control to keep her from going into heat until I can have her spayed. I have researched some, and decided that I would never give ovaban to any of my cats. Are there any other alternatives?

Uhhh....the only thing that I know of is to get them spayed/neutered. And at 8 weeks, I hardly doubt she will be in heat tomorrow. My female kitten is 4 months old and she still hasnt gone into her first heat yet...and my vet said that she needed be to 6 months. Maybe someone here knows something?

You misunderstood me. I want to have some on hand just in case she starts coming into heat before I can get her fixed. It would, in theory, be easier to keep her seperate from the boys if she is not giving them a yowling reason to go after her.
Call and ask your vet. I didnt misunderstand you. If the boys get to the right weight and size, would the vet consider neutering them first? I hear that now, they have a size/weight limit, and once they hit that mark, the vets will spay/neuter. Have you looked into that to know what your state/county regulations are?

I know. They've all got an appointment to be fixed in a few months. I just want to make absolutely sure that she does not get knocked up before then, like her mother did. None of the vets here that i know of abort.
