Getting kitten fixed, will his personality change?

[doughnutouchme]

I'm taking my kitten ( M ) Jinx to get fixed tomorrow and will have to stay overnight, and pick him up on Friday.

He's an incredibly affectionate cat, he's sleeping on me as I type this. He boops his nose to ours, and headbutts all the time. Super ultra lovey dovey.

He's been this way since we've found him, will his personality change afterwards? Am I just being paranoid or is that something that could happen?

A very worried cat mom right now.

If anything it will change for the better not sure how old he is but once those hormones go haywire they can become a real pain.

I found him as a stray and at his first vest appointment they assumed he was 2 months then, so probably around 6 months now.

I'm not having behavioral issues with him, I'm just afraid he won't be as affectionate after.

The only change in him will be that he won't be looking for a female to mate and he won't spray to mark territories. Other than that, all things remains the same and maybe he'll be even more affectionate.

On the contrary, he's likely to be at least as affectionate as he is now. My Hadji was always the sweetest boy, neutering made zero difference there.

Hello and welcome!
The medicine they get after surgery makes them extra cuddly! He's likely to go through a rambunctious stage at some point, (most cats do!)but since you're neutering him, it won't be as rambunctious as it could be.
Usually as cats age they become more affectionate.

I have 3 boy's different age's and not one of thier personalities changed. My cuddle kittens stayed cuddle cat's. No need to worry if your boy is affectionate now he will be after.
