subject:"\[Felvtalk\] Neutering males"

I had one kitten that I trapped at the dump, she was spayed early, very
early.  She was never "the same" after thatI will continue sticking to
my 6 months for both sexes and make sure they are spayed (our cats are
strictly indoor anyway).  I have never had any problems in 18 1/2 yrs with
people NOT altering them. If I were a huge group, I would probably
spay/neuter earlier and before they were adopted. N

Sometimes you have to take the chance and pray you are right.  I had a  
little girl spayed early..she had to stay at the vet's until she  
weighed enough and that was expensive. I think it was worth it  
though.  She has a wonderful home and will have no kittens.  She was a  
tiny feral and catching her once was very hard. Finding her a home at  
3 months (???) of age worked.  I don't know that she could have been  
caught or a home found if she had been much older.  And yes, the  
unneutered males in the area would have led Angel off to an uncertain  
future.

Copper and Thomas were done a little early because I wanted my very  
special vets in Louisville (Middletown Animal Clinic) to take care of  
them.  They weighed enough and one was thinking about spraying.  Both  
needed to be done at the same time to maintain the balance of power.   
There is two weeks or so difference in age. They did wonderfully.   
Don't ask how many times I checked on them that day...

Like I said, sometimes you have to push the calendar and trust the  
vet.  I would hate to turn a kitten/pup that was not spayed or  
neutered over to even the best home..I've watched too many people  
come up with reasons not to get the cat/dog fixed even when the bill  
was being paid and the baby transported and.always a  
reasonand more homeless animals.

It's different if you are a rescue who places animals for adoption.  
In California it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) non-profit to adopt out  
an unaltered animal. Also, we have so many vets in Northern  
California who are very experienced at early age spay/neuter. It's  
the standard here and the kittens always seem to bounce back so  
quickly from their surgery.

My Vet spays and neuters when they are 4 lbs, so all of my guys 
were done about a month ago.  2 boys and a girl, all did fine.

Re: [Felvtalk] Neutering males

2010-12-27 Thread janine paton

Last year we had a brother/sister feral pair just in, crated together and when 
spayed 2 wks later at 5 1/2 mos, the female was pregnant already with one 
kitten.  

We can't afford to spay.neuter every single litter we take on right away, but 
follow up like crazy with adoptions and our rule is spay/neuter at 5 mos.  They 
do heal faster at a younger age.  

See Winn Feline Foundation website for more information about this - it might 
dispel the myths of early spay/neuter, esp with boys.  

Human children seem to be more prone to early sexuality, why not cats?

Wow, I went outside for a little bit to ride one of our horses.bunches
of new replies :-)

All our other cats were around 9 months old when spayed or neutered. I'm
from the Netherlands and there are not many vets that will do it earlier
then that. I've been reading and listening to the pros and cons to
early/late neutering and spaying, but there are just as many pros as cons in
either of them. I even lean towards early, because a kitten bounces back a
lot quicker then an older cat.
I've personally made up my mind that it is better to neuter young, but not
at like 3 weeks old or so. I don't think much can go wrong with a male. If a
vet messes that up, he needs to go back to school. With females I would wait
till older. It is a lot harder on them because they actually get opened up
and have all their female organs removed..
With my first question I was just wondering at what age most people have
their male kittens neutered. Didn't even think about the weight of the
kitten...makes a lot more sense!

Thanks for the all the replies!

Re: [Felvtalk] Neutering males

2010-12-27 Thread Kelley Saveika

I figure that amazingly enough he's been to vet school and I haven't.  The
local low cost spay and neuter places (I call them chop n shops) will do
them at 3 months, but their primary concern is that all animals be spayed
and neutered no matter what, and they killed one of our kittens with a
botched spay - never again.  Our current vet does them at 6 months because
his concern is the health of each individual animal - and I like that.

We have never had anyone get pregnant.

If they are not altered we adopt out on foster to adopt, which means we
still own the animal and they are fostering.  It works if you can keep up
with it.  We never transfer ownership on an unaltered animal.

Re: [Felvtalk] Neutering males

I totally agree it is the law here as well.
Being a rescue and non-profit we do all kittens after they reach the desired weight before they are adopted out. Matter of fact I do not list any kittens until they have been done. I have 3 litters going next week with their moms to be altered.
Yes, they do bounced back after have this done. It is harder the older the kitty.
My Vets too are very experience doing these spay/neuters at young ages.
I have seen females come into heat at 41/1-5 months old then be pregnant at 6 months popping out kittens.  
I've taken in several young moms in the last year more so than in the past years because of being too young to have kittens. People play off being stupid like they didn't know they could get pregnant at that age.
Male kittens and adults do try to go after them. 
It's nature!

Re: [Felvtalk] Neutering males

Wow, I went outside for a little bit to ride one of our horses.bunches
of new replies :-)

All our other cats were around 9 months old when spayed or neutered. I'm
from the Netherlands and there are not many vets that will do it earlier
then that. I've been reading and listening to the pros and cons to
early/late neutering and spaying, but there are just as many pros as cons in
either of them. I even lean towards early, because a kitten bounces back a
lot quicker then an older cat.
I've personally made up my mind that it is better to neuter young, but not
at like 3 weeks old or so. I don't think much can go wrong with a male. If a
vet messes that up, he needs to go back to school. With females I would wait
till older. It is a lot harder on them because they actually get opened up
and have all their female organs removed..
With my first question I was just wondering at what age most people have
their male kittens neutered. Didn't even think about the weight of the
kitten...makes a lot more sense!

Thanks for the all the replies!

Re: [Felvtalk] Neutering males

2010-12-27 Thread Susan Hoffman

Unfortunately that has been the experience of too many people.  Even with a 
contract and a spay/neuter deposit it does not happen.  Or it doesn't happen 
until after that little surprise litter from a 7 month old cat.  Early age 
spay/neuter goes a long way towards reducing pet overpopulation.  The areas 
that do very young spay/neuter amd have active feral cat programs have fewer 
kittens in shelters and higher adult cat adoptions.  So if you're going to 
adopt them out, fix them first.

Re: [Felvtalk] Neutering males

I am a rescue group - but we don't have any laws in CT to alter them before
adoptions.  Probably a great idea! I keep in personal contact with adopters
and make absolutely sure that they spay/neuter at the appropriate times.
But they found that even though people pay for the spay/neuter at the time
of adoption, a huge percentage never come back to do it...Whether they do it
on their own or not, isn't known.  More likely, they don't, and that's why
such a problem continues.

2010-12-27 Thread Susan Hoffman

It's different if you are a rescue who places animals for adoption.  In 
California it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) non-profit to adopt out an unaltered 
animal.  Also, we have so many vets in Northern California who are very 
experienced at early age spay/neuter.  It's the standard here and the kittens 
always seem to bounce back so quickly from their surgery.

Re: [Felvtalk] Neutering males

I've only heard that especially for males, if they're too young and not
sexually mature, there could be urinary problems in the futurefor
females, it seems OK to do it early.  Right now, I have one female and 2
males of about 6-7 months of age. they're not large - absolutely no sign of
anything sexual going on.  But I will spay the female first.  They are
waiting to find homes.

I usually wait until they are 6 months old also.  However, I currently have
a litter of 1 female and 2 males and I was wanting to get it done before
they became sexually mature.  I have them scheduled for the middle of
January and they will be only 4 1/2 months old.  What are the future health
problems for early spays and neuters.  I haven't heard about this before.
Perhaps I need to reschedule for a later date?

Re: [Felvtalk] Neutering males

2010-12-27 Thread Gloria Lane

Right our vet does 2 lb 2 mo for boys also and later for girls.  We never have 
problems with the early neuter but like someone said *not all vets do it* - not 
all are experienced at doing it. So probably good to get one who's done it 
before and you trust.

Re: [Felvtalk] Neutering males

2010-12-27 Thread Kim

I usually wait until they are 6 months old also.  However, I currently have
a litter of 1 female and 2 males and I was wanting to get it done before
they became sexually mature.  I have them scheduled for the middle of
January and they will be only 4 1/2 months old.  What are the future health
problems for early spays and neuters.  I haven't heard about this before.
Perhaps I need to reschedule for a later date?

Re: [Felvtalk] Neutering males

2010-12-27 Thread Susan Hoffman

We do them at 2 pounds/2 months in northern California.  With the girls we may 
wait till they are closer to 3 pounds though.

Cats can start going into heat at 4-1/2 months.  And with the boys, the sooner 
they are neutered the less likely they are to become sprayers.  If you are 
planning on adopting the little guy out I would suggest fixing him as soon as 
possible.  If he turns into a sprayer he will really not be adoptable to an 
indoor only home.

Re: [Felvtalk] Neutering males

Yes, he is a big boy! We found him at a gas station about 3 weeks ago. He
was a little skinny but not bad. The people from the gas station put food
out for him.
We had to trap him because he was completely wild and feral. And
now...the sweetest kittens you can imagine!!
He is still separated from the other cats because I don't want to take the
risk. We had a good scare earlier this year. Our other cats still have to go
for their second round of testing.
Fingers crossed!

Re: [Felvtalk] Neutering males

Would like to add my Vets do the spaying/neutering at the lightest weight of 2 pounds. When I do take my kittens in they range from 2-3 pounds.

I have all my kittens spayed/neutered when they are 2-3 pounds feral or not.
Normally they are about 10-12 weeks old at this time.
In male kittens if the testicles are showing this is great they can be done!
So this would be a good time to do it.

At what age do you guys have your male kittensneutered. I have a 10 to 12 week old kitten (not sure exactly, found him ata gas station).We have to have him tested for Felv/Fiv and I was thinking to have himneutered at the same time because it would save us a lot of money.He is a strong and healthy guy and both his testicals are showing already.Thanks for any replies,Peggy___Felvtalk mailing listFelvtalk@felineleukemia.orghttp://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

My vet prefers for them to weigh 3-4 pounds before surgery (usually 16 weeks)

We neuter young I think it's 3 pounds. Not all vets do that though.

Many of the vets I use with rescues want the kitten to weigh 2 pounds, age
doesn't matter.
