Cat neutering is an essential part of preventive healthcare that improves your cat’s quality of life. It not only prevents unwanted pregnancies but also reduces aggressive behaviors, decreases loud mating calls during heat cycles, and lowers the risk of several serious diseases.
Many cat owners search for information about cat neutering because they realize it is not only about controlling population but also about extending life expectancy and supporting overall health.
Reducing health risks
Females: Lowers the chance of developing mammary cancer and uterine infections (pyometra).
Males: Reduces the risk of testicular cancer and prostate problems.
Behavioral control
Decreases loud vocalizations during heat cycles
Reduces roaming outside the home to find mates
Less fighting with other cats and less urine marking to establish territory
Controlling cat overpopulation
Neutering helps reduce the number of stray and abandoned cats, which remains a significant issue in Thailand.
Recommended age
Cats can typically be neutered from 5–6 months of age.
Always consult with a veterinarian to determine the appropriate timing based on your cat’s breed and health condition.
Can older cats be neutered?
Yes, adult cats can still be safely neutered if they are in good health and pass a pre-surgical checkup.
Preparation
Cats should fast (no food or water) for about 8–12 hours before surgery.
A health checkup is performed to ensure readiness.
Surgery
Cats are placed under general anesthesia.
Females: The ovaries and uterus are surgically removed.
Males: The testicles are surgically removed.
Post-operative care
Provide a warm, clean space for recovery.
Prevent licking of the surgical site by using an Elizabethan collar.
Follow-up with the veterinarian as scheduled.
Check for cleanliness standards
Select a clinic or hospital with sterile surgical rooms and proper equipment.
Experienced veterinary team
The veterinarian should have proven expertise in feline surgery.
Complete aftercare
A good clinic provides detailed post-operative care instructions and follow-up appointments.
