Why spay
and/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.
