Our kitten is currently 4 months old. We have an amazing vet who we trust completely and would prefer that this vet is the one to spay our kitten, but the vet only spays starting at 6 months old.
I've always had cats desexed at a much younger age (mostly at low cost spay clinics which do it at way younger ages) so waiting this long kind of worries me. I don't want the kitten to go into heat. We don't have a male cat or anything, I just want to avoid it if possible. Do you guys think waiting another 2 months is generally okay? Or should I seek out another vet?
If it matters she's an exotic shorthair persian. Does anyone know when on average they start?
Thank you.
