Ethical, responsible breeding means putting the long-term health, safety, and welfare of every kitten first, and that includes mandatory early desexing.
At Northern Reign, all pet kittens go to their new homes already desexed, ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS !!! 🚫🥜
Despite common misconceptions, early desexing is safe, is widely supported by veterinary professionals, and is promoted by organizations such as the SPCA. It is one of the most responsible steps breeders can take to protect their kittens.
Benefits of early desexing include:
• Preventing accidental or irresponsible breeding
• Reducing the risk of contributing to backyard breeding
• Helping decrease shelter overpopulation and rescue burden
• Lowering certain reproductive health risks
• Preventing unwanted hormonal behaviors such as spraying or roaming
• Providing peace of mind for breeders and pet owners alike
All kittens are desexed once they reach appropriate weight (typically around 1.5 kg or approximately 14 weeks), ensuring they are protected before rehoming.
