I have to say, while our monthly clinic vet does pediatric spay/
neuter, I wouldn't trust every one to do it, and I understand the term
"chop shops". Compared with other local clinics, I think we do batter
"aftercare" for cats in recovery than any of the others and that's so
important. Can't just put them in a cage or carrier after surgery,
and leave them. Fortunately we have a good system, and we all trust
our vet, who is good with pediatric s/n, and he's also fast - amazing
to watch him versus some of the other vets. Knowing the vet and
trusting are so important. Otherwise I'd wait a while too.

I figure that amazingly enough he's been to vet school and I
haven't. The
local low cost spay and neuter places (I call them chop n shops)
will do
them at 3 months, but their primary concern is that all animals be
spayed
and neutered no matter what, and they killed one of our kittens with a
botched spay - never again. Our current vet does them at 6 months
because
his concern is the health of each individual animal - and I like that.
We have never had anyone get pregnant.
If they are not altered we adopt out on foster to adopt, which means
we
still own the animal and they are fostering. It works if you can
keep up
with it. We never transfer ownership on an unaltered animal.
