Unfortunately, brothers and sisters will mate and the offspring may have health problems, so I would strongly recommend having them desexed as soon as possible. Female cats come into season based on the number of daylight hours, so your kitten may come into season shortly (often January to February). I have attached more information about female cats below. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=3604 So, I would have surgery done as soon a possible just to avoid any problems. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
