FACT: SPAY / NEUTER SAVES KITTENS!

LA is home to an estimated 3 million homeless cats. A female can become pregnant as young as five months of age and can have up to 8 kittens per litter and 2-3 litters per year. During her productive life, one female cat could have more than 100 kittens. A single pair of cats and their kittens can produce as many as 420,000 kittens in just 7 years. THIS is why shelters and rescues across the country are constantly flooded with unwanted cats and kittens.

Unweaned kittens require constant care and put an enormous stress on shelters. Of the nearly 8,500 unweaned kittens brought to the LA county shelters, 4,738 were euthanized. Thats almost 60% of the homeless kitties dying needlessly. 

Spay/Neuter has many benefits for cats and communities and in both LA city and county, all cats and dogs are required by law to be spayed or neutered no later than 4 months of age.

Studies show spayed and neutered cats lead healthier and longer lives, and the procedure virtually eliminates the chances for certain kinds of cancerous tumors and deadly ovarian infections. Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) benefits everyone because it reduces the number of stray cats and curbs unwanted behaviors associated with mating such a fighting, yowling, and urine spraying.  

Did you know if you donate just a few hours per year to trap and fix 3 female cats you'll save at least 24 kittens from ever ending up at a shelter or suffering on the street!
