Spaying/Neutering and Microchipping
Sphynx cats should be spayed or neutered around 4–6 months of age, depending on size and health. Early spay/neuter prevents health and behavioral issues.
Here’s a brief overview:
Age Range | Details |
---|---|
4 – 6 Months | This is the recommended age range for spaying or neutering, as it prevents unwanted behaviors (like spraying or heat cycles) and reduces health risks. |
Minimum Weight | At Purradox Sphynxery, kittens are spayed or neutered when they reach a minimum of 3 lbs, with a preference for higher weights to ensure safety. |
Health Benefits | Early spaying/neutering lowers the risk of reproductive cancers and reduces the likelihood of behavioral issues related to hormones. |
