How old can male cats be de-sexed

It is generally recommended that male cats be de-sexed. De-sexing of cats is best done before sexual maturity. Many cats, especially purebred cats, mature sexually very quickly, with the possibility of maturity at 4-6 months. This is because male cats are more reactive in heat, usually with more violent chirping, and may even appear to go out in search of cats of the opposite sex, which in turn increases the chances of wandering and jumping. In addition, male cats are more prone to reproductive diseases as they age, and de-sexing reduces the level of relevant hormones by removing the testicles and other reproductive organs, from avoiding or reducing the risk of reproductive diseases in cats, thus safeguarding their health.
