Yes, you should have Litchi spayed because it has numerous health and behavioral benefits and it helps to control pet over population. Here is a helpful link: https://www.petcoach.co/article/spaying-ovariohysterectomy-the-benefits-in-cats/ Most cats are spayed between 5-6 months of age but some are spayed as early as 8 weeks old. After her spayed, she will need to wear an elizabethan collar to prevent licking and you will need to keep her in a bedroom or bathroom to keep her activity low. You will also need to give her pain medications for 4-5 days after the procedure. Here is a link about incision care: https://www.petcoach.co/article/incisions-and-healing-in-animals/ Uncomplicated incisions heal in about 10-14 days. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
