𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐟𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬) 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞:

No heat cycles; therefore, males will not be attracted.

Reduction or elimination of mammary gland tumors, ovarian and uterine cancer, especially if done before the first heat cycle.

Reduced incidence of pyometra- a uterine infection that is fatal if not treated.

The results in better overall health for the cat whose body is no longer stressed and depleted by constant reproduction.

 

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬) 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞:

Reduction or elimination of spraying and marking.

Elimination of hormone-fueled cat fights.

Risk of testicular cancer is eliminated, and the incidence of prostate disease is decreased.

Less desire to roam. Toms stay closer to home and tend to become calmer and friendlier and have a longer lifespan. Outdoor intact male cats tend to get hurt or die while roaming in search of a female in heat.

A reduction in the spread of FIV, a virus spread between cats by deep bites/puncture wounds received while fighting.

 

The benefit to the community is that neutered cats are healthier animals and make better neighbors. Complaints of overpopulation, fighting, yowling, and marking will decrease, making the cats more welcome members of the community.

 

Save a life! Spay or neuter all the cats -- your pet(s) and those outdoors.

Please donate to help us with our mission!

Welcome to MCAT- Sugar, Spice, and Eddie! Although we are to only TNVR, when a kitten 5-6+ wks goes in the trap, I can’t leave them, hoping to trap again in 7 wks. With the help of SNAP, we fostered these kittens and they have all found wonderful families. Happy Life, little ones!
