You need to check with your vet as to the correct time to have
kitty de-sexed. I seem to remember that our vet preferred neutering at
12 to 18 months of age based on the health and build of the cat. He was
not overly happy that the Humane Society required that Pumpkin be
neutered within 30 days of her adoption. He wanted to wait until she
was closer to 18 months. (She was a year old when we got her; she is
not a large cat - at 2 1/2 years old she has reached her full size: 7 1/2
pounds.)
