We champion neutering or spaying as the only effective way to reduce the number of unwanted cats in the UK. This means neutering or spaying is one of the best ways to put cats first.

Clearing up myths about neutering cats and spreading the neutering message has long been a key part of our mission at Cats Protection.

We’re passionate about making sure that cat owners from all walks of life have all the information and resources at hand to provide them with trustworthy information and advice for neutering their beloved pets.

How we're helping owners with neutering

We work to make it easier for owners on benefits and low incomes to get their cats neutered. If you need help financially, we might be able to help with neutering costs.

Do you have questions about the appropriate age to get your kitten neutered or spayed? We can help with information about kitten neutering. Our recommended neutering age for your pet cat is four months.
