Kitten neuter, vaccines, and flea treatment: What order & when?

Question

Hello. How should I prepare my kitten for castration? Also we haven't done all the needed vaccines yet and he needs to be sprayed against fleas too. What should I do first? How much time should it pass before another "procedure"? Pet's info: Cat | Turkish Angora | Male | unneutered | 4 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! In the US we tend to neuter male cats around 6 months of age. There is no reason why you can't wait unless he is spraying or marking in your house. He needs 2 FVRCP vaccines 3-4 weeks apart and a Rabies vaccine. If he is over 12 week get the first FVRCP and Rabies and then have him neutered in 3-4 weeks and have them give the 2nd FVCRP before he goes home. I recommend the topical flea products like Bravecto or the Seresto collar. I wish you the best!
