Is there a shot to stop my female cat's demanding heat behavior?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Maine Coon | Female | unspayed | 10 lbs

My cat as is now very demanding into having sex, even grabbing our bed sheets for it. I heard that there is a vaccine to make them stop their sexual need, is this true? If such, how can I get it?

There are hormonal shots and oral medications that can be given to suppress estrus, but long term use is not recommended due to the side effects. The only way to stop this behavior completely is to have Lilo spayed. I would recommend getting her spayed.
