Spaying or neutering cats early is beneficial because:
Less scar tissue is produced
Very young cats have a shorter recovery time
There are fewer risks of complications from surgery
It is much less stressful for the kitten
And there is no chance that the cat will “accidentally” create kittens because someone did not get the cat fixed in time
