Fixing Pet Overpopulation
Cats and dogs are able to reproduce as efficiently as their ancestors once had. This is causing more and more litters of cats and dogs due to modern domestication. We can’t find enough homes for all 30 million cats and dogs born each year. For the pets that don’t find good homes, we usually end up with;
1. The 3 million dogs that will be killed in shelters due to overpopulation
2. The 50 percent of feral cats that die within their first year
3. Or one of the 50 million stray dogs and cats on the streets
We can help reduce the problem by spaying or neutering our pets.
This will reduce suffering of animals within the community.
It is also beneficial to you and your pet:
1. Usually stops spraying in males
2. Can create a calm and happy pet
3. Spared cancer of the reproductive organs
4. No bleeding issues when the female is in heat.
5. No risk of complications during pregnancy or defects in offspring
Khepri is about to be six months and we are taking him next week to the Humane Society low cost Friday Clinics.
Look for local low cost clinics....
or donate to a spay/neuter program.
or see if PetSmart Charities is having any spay/neuter programs in your area
