question about cats???

[Heavenlyangeleyes07]

I have a kitten thats about 5-6 months old and i think she is in heat. she is an indoor cat and wants to always go outside. and she crys alot and always walks to the door and everything. I was wondering how long is she in heat for? i want to go have her fixed. and can she get fixed if she already has been in heat once?? i heard that you couldnt but im sure thats not true. .

Cats can be in heat for only a few days, or stay in a constant state of heat until they breed. It's torture - I'd head to the vet ASAP. She can be spayed at any time, any age.

thanks i need to call around to see if their are any affordable prices for her. but she is driving us all nuts lol. i hope after she gets fixed she doesnt want to try to get outside. we always had bad luck with our cats when they were outdoor cats.

it's a good idea to get your cat spayed. when we didn't have our cats fixed, it was like a baby boom.

5-6 months is a little early, though it's not impossible for her to be in heat. I wish you luck in trying to find an affordable price, but IF you are able to find a vet that is willing to spay her while she is in heat it will definitely cost more. If money is a concern and she is truly already in heat (wouldn't hurt to take her to the vet and check for certain first), then waiting until the heat has passed would save you money.

You'd have to check your area. I know the majority of clinics in my tri-state area have no problem spaying a cat in heat since they are polyestrus, and delaying shows no healthful benefit; some cats will begin to lengthen each estrus cycle for what is believed to be an act of favoring opportunity.

Heavenlyangeleyes07: I should have added before , if your local vet is too costly, ask them specifically about any low-cost s&n clinics, or if they themselves offer low-cost spay days. Check with numerous veterinarians, because not all out there will freely give information that's for the sole benefit of the animals.
