I say she should and Kevin says he is not to sure as he is scared of the side affects as his mum's cat got really ill with her injections.
Tatty will be a indoor and outdoor cat and will be mixing with other cats out side were we live so she will be nuited as there are a few tom cats outside
i hope someone can give us help/ advice on what to do

The risk of potential diseases is too high imo.
Your kitten should be vaccinated by now, take her along asap.

It was not her mum that had the reaction to the injection it was my partners mum's cat that had a reaction to the injection no relation to tatty.
there are a few cats round are area that look a bit untidy if you no what i mean don't look well looked after, we tried to help one we feed him when we can but his fur does not look good
And she is already trying to get out of windows and claws at windows if they are shut so think it would be hard to keep her in doors 24,7
thank you

nutting lol neutering? Some have re-actions but I think that it is a very small percent compared to illness that they could get, you Must keep her in untill she is neutered, as if she becomes pregnant so young she could possibly die as could the kittens, or your be left hand-rearing for 4weeks 2hour feeds asa a cat so young (if she survives the birth) wont look after them.

we can not afford to get another cat as we are unemployed
and we have taken her out on a harness but i think that may have made her want to go out more , when we come home form being out she wants to go out the front door.
And i dont think it is fair to keep a cat in 24/7 when they are old enough to go out but each to there own
would like to thank everyone for there advice  |

but please keep her indoors until she is neutered ,one jump of the fence and she is off
