If you have two breeding cats, and they have
2 litters a year and those kitties have two litters a year each,
do you know that in 10 years, there will be over 80, 000,000 cats?
And now that you know this, how many do you think find a good home,
let alone a home at all?
(Hint: Not many....)
If an excuse of "I can't afford to get my cat fixed" comes
to mind, that just isn't acceptable. Lots of animal clinics can
do the altering for a minimal charge, and all you have to do is
ASK! Call (214) 372-9999
There are even health benefits to altering:
Spaying a female helps to prevent mammary tumors (and pregnancy
as well...). Plus spaying stops the rolling and howling that females
do when they are in heat, which can be annoying!
Neutering a male helps in the prevention of testicular cancer (and
of course, unwanted litters). Neutering also prevents spraying and
the desire to roam.
Some people say they have found homes for their cats' litters. That
may sound great, but for every kitten born, about 5 die in a shelter.
That kitten who died could have found a home with that very someone
who decided to get one of their friend's litter instead of saving
the kitten from the shelter. That poor kitten didn't have a chance
in the world.
And that is all the more reason to spay or neuter your pets. There
are already too many kittens and cats losing their chance to have
a loving home. Don't contribute to the problem.
And PLEASE keep your kitties
indoors! |
