You need to wait until she has completely weaned her kitten and her milk production has dried up before you have her spayed. I would say it would be when the kittens are 10-12 weeks of age that mom can be spayed.

I was fostering a mother cat and her 5 kittens, and they all got spayed (and neutered) when the kittens were 8 weeks old.

She was still occasionally nursing and definitely still producing milk at that stage, and mum and babies were all perfectly fine.

I would suggest 10-12 weeks because then you can take all the kittens in with her and they can all get done together.
