Yes, a cat can still feed her kittens after being spayed. Spaying removes the ovaries and uterus, but it does not affect the mammary glands that produce milk.
Lactation Hormones: Milk production is controlled by prolactin and oxytocin from the pituitary gland, not the ovaries.
Mammary Glands Remain Intact: Spaying doesn’t remove or alter the mammary glands, so they can still produce milk.
Important Note: It’s crucial to spay your cat before she becomes pregnant. Spaying after giving birth can cause complications and may not be possible in some cases.
