Sterilization of cats in a veterinary clinic
Types of cat sterilization
Kits at the age of seven to nine months become sexually mature, which means that they are already ready for reproduction. But not all owners of pets are ready to grow and educate furry babies due to workload or not desire. Therefore, they often resort to surgery, namely, sterilize young cats.
