Why
spay or neuter, your cat?
According
to the Feral
Cat Coalition, "A pair of breeding cats, which
can have two or more litters per year, can exponentially
produce 420,000 offspring over a seven-year period,
and the overpopulation problem carries a hefty price
tag. Statewide, more than $50 million (largely from
taxes) is spent by animal control agencies and shelters
for cat-related expenses."
Also,
mating of outdoor cats is one of the most common ways
that cats spread diseases. To help keep your cat healthy,
it is important to spay or neuter her or him.
