How long does a cat spay or neuter take? - All Animals Veterinary Clinic
On average, a cat neuter takes less than five minutes. When it comes to spaying a cat, we do have to go inside their tummy to get to their organs, so it does take a little bit longer, but on average it takes less than 15 minutes.
