Cats will repeatedly go in and out of heat all spring/summer, so we commonly spay cats while they are in heat. I would be sure to discuss it with your veterinarian since they may require some extra time in surgery (and may therefore have a higher cost for it). I am attaching a handout about spaying cats below which has more discussion about spaying during heat. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951480 Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using PetCoach.
