Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! In the US, spaying means removal of the ovaries and/or uterus which is an abdominal (belly) surgery. We do use an injection to put them under anesthesia. In your country there may be an injection that can sterilize her or prevent her from going in to heat (like birth control). I would ask your Vet to clarify if they are recommending a surgical procedure or medical management to prevent kittens. I hope this helps!
