Cat Sterilization and Castration

 

To prevent cats from reproducing non-stop, the solution would be to take radical actions:

Castration in male cats
The castration is a simple operation and of very low risk, where the testicles are extracted. With this treatment, besides having extra kittens, drifting is avoided, coming back home injured or possible infections.

 

The best age to geld cats is between 6 months old and a year, depending if it has reached its total growth. If after the castration they tend to gain some weight, since it has diminished some physical activity, this can be solved with an appropriate diet. 

With the vasectomy they do not segregate semen, but its desire and behavior are not modified. It is not advisable.   

Sterilization in female cats
Sterilization recommended in female cats goes between 6 months and before her first zeal. The ideal thing is to do it after her first zeal, when they are well developed. Meanwhile, contraceptive methods can be given in a temporary way. 

It is necessary to indicate that any contraceptive method, both injections and tablets, must be administered for short periods, since in the long term they could cause diabetes problems or uterine disorders.

Sterilizing female cats consists on removing the uterus and ovaries, so they can become pregnant or be in zeal. Same as the vasectomy for male cats, this practice is not advisable.
