Feline Fix by Five Month - It’s Not (Just) If—It’s When

February 10, 2026 | On Demand Starting at 2:00PM ET

This session explores how one simple shift – from six months to five months – can create a powerful ripple effect: preventing kitten season before it starts, improving health outcomes, and reducing strain on shelters, rescues, and communities.

You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of the campaign, why timing matters, and how you can get involved – whether you’re a veterinary professional, an animal welfare organization, a cat parent, or someone who wants to be part of the solution. There’s a role for us all to play.

It’s not just if - it’s when - and what you can do to help shift the norm.

In the brief presentation you’ll learn what Feline Fix by Five is, and why when kittens are spayed or neutered matters just as much as if they are. Fixing kittens by five months of age is a best practice, with the recommendation endorsed by leading veterinary associations like the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), Feline Veterinary Medical Association (FelineVMA), American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), Association of Shelter Veterinarians (ASV), HumaneVMA, and many others throughout the veterinary profession.

And yet, ten years after the launch of the Feline Fix by Five campaign, many kittens are still being fixed too late, resulting in unplanned litters, overcrowded shelters, and heartbreaking decisions for the people who care most.
