ADOPTED !!!!
This is Wiley! He is a red Heeler cattle dog around a year old. This guy is easy to be around, learns quickly, and will be very loyal to you! He does great with dogs. Wiley is watchful of new people and isn't a dog who is going to greet everyone. An active home is a must with knowledge of herding dogs. Wiley is just going to want to be at your side. Come meet him, he is a neat little dog!

Let’s talk about the reproductive cycle of female cats… please share.

Cats can get preggers as early as four months old. They can get pregnant with their brothers. They can get pregnant with more than one Tom over a two week period.

Cats can be spayed/neutered as young as 2lbs/8 weeks old.

A good spay should not include stitches that need to be removed. If your vet needs to put in a zipper you need a different vet.

TNR vets use dissolving glue and cats don’t need a cone (unless they are lickers, generally).

Cats can be safely spay/aborted. At no point is it more dangerous for mama than the act of giving birth. It is just hard on us that love kitties. But she doesn’t know why her body is behaving so weirdly.

We used to not spay abort friendly mamas that were far along - in the early days of our rescue. We have learned the world doesn’t need more kittens. There will always be another litter that needs our help that has already been born. Then we can’t take on those living kittens and they die a rotten death on the street, because we are full with a mama and kittens.

If your vet tells you that a cat cannot be spayed when pregnant, in heat or lactating you need a new vet. A cat can be spayed when lactating and/or in heat.

A cat nursing kittens will most likely go in to heat while still nursing kittens. Usually around 5-6 weeks after giving birth. She will still be lactating and she will be preggers soon.

In Southern California, cats will have 3-5 litters a year. The 5th comes in when one of her litters dies suddenly. She will go into heat very soon. So more pain and suffering.

Find the right vet and spay your cats and neuter your males as early as possible.

This is Hailey a beautiful 3 yr old spayed female Rottweiler. She loves her person so much that she can't be with other dogs or cats. It has made it difficult to place her in a forever home. She has been at the shelter for more than 6 months. We have tried a rescue and they are to full to take her. If you have no pets and would like to meet her stop in and check her out. She likes to snuggle.
