I would like to know if it is to late to spay my 8 month old male cat, he has never been outside.

I don't think he has reached sexual maturity, because I found an abandoned female cat who was pregnant and now I have 1 eight month old male cat, 1 adult female cat and 5 kittens. is it to late to spay the female cat as well?

The male cat helps the female cat take care of her kittens he standa guard while she take a break from feeding, he is very sweet and he curls up in the nest I made for the female cat and they all sleep together.

But I am very worried about it being to late for spaying please help me.

Thank you

It's never too late to spay /neuter. My mom's Piper is a retired breeder who was only spayed last year at age 4 and she is doing great. My boy Loki whom I rescued at age 7 months was just neutered a week before I got him and he is also doing great.

Hello, hell603


Thanks for getting back to me, I am so happy its not to late
he is such a beutiful cat, and I guess I will be keeping the mommy cat I found. She is so petite, and her babies are so big they were born on February 14 starting about 7:00 AM I guess they were my little cupids.

Thanks again for the help.

From what I've heard and read its never too late to spay or neuter. Of course the earlier the better, but 8 months is still quite young! Go get it done if you can!! I actually had my Sunshine spayed at 1.5 years old, and Cymone was done over a year as well. No problems w/ recovery either.
