To make a long story short, the person we rescued Hermione through is going to take her to be fixed, but not till she's 5 months old.
After we had her for about a week, she caught a URI (our other cats where being boarded and brought it home) which led to laryngitus. The whole area around her larynx was swollen and red. She got a cortozone shot and was given Clavamox liquids. We brought her in just in time, as her airways could have swollen shut.
Anyway, if we have the person we got her from take her in for her spay, it'll only cost us $35. After talking with her, she said she wanted to wait till Hermie is 5 months old, due to her laryngitus. I'm not sure why, but she spoke with her surgeon tech daughter and let me know this.
My question...is five months too late as far as a possibility of her being in heat?? We have five other cats, 3 males, 2 other female, strictly indoor ONLY and all fixed. (Hermie is almost 14 weeks old)
Let me know what you think. I'm worried she'll go into heat and I don't want her to go through that if I can help it. I can just take her to my vet and do it now.
Thank you.
