Spaying & Neutering

All animals at the Rainbow Rehoming Centre are seen by a veterinary surgeon as soon as possible. If the animal has not already been neutered the necessary operation will be performed.

Unlike dogs who come into season just twice a year, cats come in and out of season from March to December. They can become pregnant at 5 to 6 months of age and get pregnant while still feeding kittens. They can have 4 litters a year!

Males start spraying at this age (5 to 6 months), and if not neutered, the smell can be unbearable. Male un-neutered cats get injured in fights and treament can be more costly than the neutering fee, and more distressing. Neutered males are less likely to roam for long periods of time away from your home.
