It will not hurt to wait to neuter Pelly another couple months but he may begin spraying in the house. Spraying is a way that cats mark their territory and once they go through puberty, this is normal behavior. It is generally recommended to neuter kittens by six months of age to avoid this. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
