When I purchased my purebred kitten, she had been spayed by the breeder at 10 weeks and did great. We took her home at 12 weeks. She was very small, around 2 pounds at the time. Several articles I have read, including one from vet. school in Va. (I think) recommended early spaying of puppies and kittens due to the ease and less anesthesia, no stitches, etc. However....my vet told me that now information coming in says those dogs who were spayed at just weeks old, have more problems with incontinence and other urinary problems when they reach old age than those who were spayed at 6 months or older. So, just something else to think about. I do understand your concern, tho.
