Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I think this would be ok. In general, it is better to space it out just because both of these procedures (neuter surgery and vaccines) can result in complications or side effects, often times we do them close to each other or at the same time due to logistics and most cats do just fine. Good luck and have a great night!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is the FVRCP vaccine, which stands for Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calici virus and Panleukopenia. I highly recommend finishing his kitten vaccine series. These viruses can cling to you and you can give them to him or if you ever get another cat he will be at risk. The first 2 viruses are respiratory viruses and the last one is the feline version of parvo and cats die from panleukopenia. I hope this helps and I wish you and Sherlock the best!

There are a number of newer non-surgical contraception options for cats and dogs including Gonazon, Suprelorin, Neutersol, Esterilsol, and Infertile. However, many of these drugs are still undergoing testing for safety and efficacy. As a result they are only available in certain countries. As more research is done in this area, more reliable drugs are likely to come to market.
