Spaying & Neutering

If you do not intend to breed from your Bengal then neutering or spaying should be done as early as possible to prevent unwanted kittens. You may have a pedigree cat that you are thinking you would love a litter from. If you bought your kitten as a pet, you may be legally unable to breed from your cat. Read the contract that came with your kitten carefully. There have been known cases of people being taken to court for breeding a cat that was bought as a pet and not for breeding.

NEUTERING
Neutering (castration) is the surgical removal of the testicles from the scrotum of an animal.

SPAYING
A spay (ovariohysterectomy) is the surgical removal of the uterus and ovaries from the abdomen of an animal.

When should I have my cat Neutered/Spayed?
This can vary depending on your vet , the idea is to spay before your cat reaches sexual maturity. The best age is no later than six months. There is now a lot of support regarding early spay/neutering, as early as 8-16 weeks. Consult your vet for their opinion and guidance

Should I allow my female to have a litter first?
No - this is totally unnecessary . There is no information out there to substantiate this claim. The best time to spay is before her first heat.

Spaying/Neutering can prevent the obnoxious habit of spraying urine to mark their territory-please note females also can spray.

Spaying/Neutering stops your cat roaming

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

To spay a female cat you are looking at aprox £45 depending on which vet you choose and Neutering is aprox £25. If you find this is to much for you please contact your nearest RSPCA or PDSA who should be able to help.
