When can a female cat start reproducing?

Puberty usually occurs around five to eight months in cats, although it can happen as early as four months and as late as 18 months depending on the breed of cats. Cats Protection recommends neutering both male and female cats from four months of age. However, it is important to note that the vet responsible for your cat will specify when they are prepared to carry out the neutering operation (usually between four and six months of age). Your vet will consider each case on its own merits.
