Spay and Neuter Services

 

Spaying or neutering your pet is not only the right thing to do when it comes to helping with the pet overpopulation problem — it is kinder to your dog or cat as well as having health benefits.

• They are less likely to have behavioral problems when they have been spayed or neutered.

• They are less apt to want to roam neighborhoods and get into fights with other animals.

• Birthing and mothering six or eight offspring takes a lot out of your pet!

One unfixed female cat can have more than 100 kittens in her lifetime, and she and her offspring can go on to have upwards of 370,000 kittens in 7 years. Multiply this by the hundreds of community cats in the area, and that number grows exponentially. The fact of the matter is that there are not enough homes to care for all of the kittens born each year, which is why we want you to know how you can help prevent unwanted litters, and support the litters that are born each year.
