Safe. Cat neutering is safe and is a relatively minor physiological surgery. Sterilization performed in regular pet hospitals is safe. Although surgery cannot avoid 100% of risks, with the gradual development of medicine, many risks and complications are within controllable limits.

Benefits of cat sterilization:

1. Reduce the number of stray cats. Cats have a short estrus cycle and strong reproductive capacity. If not controlled, a large number of kittens will be born one after another. If the owner cannot afford it and fails to help them find good homes, these cats will become stray cats.

2. Neutering can prevent cats from developing reproductive system diseases, such as pyometra, ovarian lesions, breast tumors, testicular tumors, etc., which can avoid or reduce the risk of disease.

3. Neutering can greatly reduce the frequency of male cats urinating and female cats hissing all night long.

4. Sterilization extends life span. Experiments by experts have shown that neutered cats generally live longer than cats that are not neutered.
