Spay & Neuter Information
Did you know?
Each day 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. — and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. As a result, millions of healthy, loving cats, dogs, kittens and puppies face early deaths as a form of animal control. Others are left to fend for themselves against automobiles, the elements, animals and cruel humans. What can you do to stop the suffering? Spay and neuter your pets! Together we can make a difference.
An unspayed female cat, her mate and all of their offspring, producing 2 litters per year, with 2.8 surviving kittens per litter can total:
| 1 yr: | 12 |
| 2 yrs: | 67 |
| 3 yrs: | 376 |
| 4 yrs: | 2,107 |
| 5 yrs: | 11,801 |
| 6 yrs: | 66,088 |
| 7 yrs: | 370,092 |
| 8 yrs: | 2,072,514 |
| 9 yrs: | 11,606,077 |
Most people don't know that a cat can have her first litter at the age of five months, and just one litter means that five more good homes must be found! That is why there are so many strays, and why our shelters are full of cats. Do your cat, and everyone, a favor . . .
SPAY YOUR CAT BY THE AGE OF FIVE MONTHS — BEFORE HER FIRST LITTER!
