Any guesses on the age of this kitten? (beehaw.org)

This is Mo. He wandered into my work last month and just stuck around. He needs flea meds, shots, and to get fixed but I'm not sure how old he is. I'd ask the vet but it's a 2-3 week wait to get in; I don't want to finally get an appointment and then have him be too young or something.

I'm guessing 4ish months? Looks like a Holstein. Thanks for your help.

Looks like 4 - 6 months for me. Aren't you allowed to get those meds for young strays?

He is very handsome btw

Thank you. The age is more for getting him fixed and the flea medicine I have (Frontline) says at least 4 months. I had a bad experience with Hartz flea & tick on a kitten years ago so now I'm super careful.

I'd go with 5-6 at least, they're getting towards full grown. 100% old enough to be done. If you can see the testicles they're old enough to be done really.

I work in rescue and see a lot of cats so would surprise me if any younger.

I have no advice on age, but I'm in love with his side spot. It looks like a manatee sporting a huge pompadour!
