Hi all, I just got my first pedigree cat, a gorgeous mainecoon. I have several other cats that I rescued as well. All of my cats are spayed and neutered. However, we are having a minor complication with our vets where they refused to spay our mainecoon, despite she had completed 3 cycles of vaccine, and the weight is more that enough for her to proceed with the procedure. According to the vet, it may stunt her growth, and we may need to wait for a year or so before we spay her for her to grow to full potential.

The thing is she already on heat. Online research shows that spaying have little to do with growth, or none at all.

Should I just listen to my vet or get another vet? FYO, we had been with this vet since 2018, we spayed countless stray cat with them, and all our house cats are resident to the vet.
