Many people are surprised to learn that kittens can become pregnant as early as 4 months old. Even though they still look like babies, female cats can reach sexual maturity very quickly - and pregnancies at such a young age can be dangerous for both mom and kittens.
That’s why veterinarians strongly support “Fix by Four” - spaying and neutering kittens by 4 months of age. Early spay/neuter is safe, helps kittens live healthier lives, and prevents accidental litters before the cycle of overpopulation begins. 🐾
