Why Spay or Neuter? |
Millions of unwanted and homeless cats are born in this country each year. During the peak of the kitten season - from late April through September - humane shelters kill unwanted and abandoned cats at the rate of over one per minute. Others are less fortunate and are left to wander - easy prey for larger animals, easy targets for automobiles and easy marks for cruel pranksters. If they do survive, they attain maturity and bring forth five or six kittens, mostly females, to continue this vicious cycle. Every cat owner whose pet is unspayed or unneutered and allowed to roam must bear the responsibility for this terrible over-population. Remember, one female cat's cumulative offspring in ten years could total over 80 million!
