Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If she hasn't been spayed yet she should be able to still have kittens. Her breed is only a problem if she or the male cat has large skulls that they may not pass in the birth canal. It is not too early to spay her, in fact I usually recommend spaying at 6months. The more heat cycles so goes through the more at risk she is for mammary and uterine cancers as she ages. My recommendation is to spay her soon. Good luck and kisses to Sussie!

    Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Likely if your cat required a c section for her first litter, she will need a c section in the future if you choose to breed her. If she is old enough to have kittens, it should be safe for her to be spayed unless you are just wanting to keep her intact for breeding purposes. If my client's cats require c section operations for birth, I usually recommend spaying and preventing future health complications to the mother cat by doing so. While size of your male will be a factor in how large your kittens are-if you have a very small female birth will be very hard on her anyway. I hope this helps!
