Neutering kittens

[Tallulah Staple]

I have got two kittens very recently, I think they are 6-8 weeks old.
We were told we were getting two boys, but obviously one has turned out to be a girl.
I really don't want her to get pregnant, I know about all the risks for young cats, so what is the youngest age I can get them neutered?

Usually around the 6 month mark. Can i suggest that it might be a good idea for you to contact some vets in your area and have a chat, if that's possible, in order to get an impression of how good, dont know if that's the right word or not, they may be.
Just a thought for your other thread about the kittens not eating, do you know if they have been wormed?

I have fairly recently taken a little boy kitten and my vet has said 6 months for neutering, mainly because he said they hand tie and the "bits" that have to be tied have to be large enough to handle! It can be done earlier IF the cat is well developed!
