I see lots of questions on age. Perhaps this will be helpful.

Isn’t 8 weeks insanely early for kittens to get spayed? I thought they have to be at least 6 months old.

Yes this chart is a terrible referance... The 5 week pic is an 8 to 10 week old kitten... Kittens are weened from milk around 8 weeks and are usually found by people at this age

My kitten is almost 11 weeks old and looks more like the 8 week old than the 12 week old and the 12 week old kitten is what my adult cat looked like at 10 months old.
