Spay or Neuter

...It's Raining Cats and Dogs

Start with one female:

• One female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 cats in seven years.
• One female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in six years.
• An estimated eight to ten million dogs and cats are euthanized in shelters each year.  Millions are abandoned, only to suffer from illness or injury before dying.
• It costs U.S. taxpayers an estimated $2 billion a year to round up, house, euthanize and dispose of homeless animals.
• As many as 25% of dogs entering shelters each year are purebreds.
• Approximately 55% of dogs and puppies and 71% of cats and kittens entering shelters are killed, based on reports from 1,038 facilities across America.

Every unspayed/unneutered pet potentially contributes to the problem.  Please spay or neuter your pet for their health and safety and to assure a better world for pets and humans alike.  Every litter hurts!
