IS IT SAFE TO SPAY A LACTATING (NURSING) CAT?

Yes, the surgery will not affect a mother's milk production. Community cats who are currently nursing should be released back to their environment only when they are alert and moving around normally.  For tame cats, it is recommended to wait until the kittens are 6-8 weeks old to spay the mother. This will ensure that the spay incision is kept clean and dry after surgery and is less likely to become infected.
