โ
Population control! No more unwanted litters!
โ
Reduction or elimination of spraying and marking.
โ
Elimination of hormone-fueled cat fights.
โ
Risk of testicular cancer is eliminated, and the incidence of prostate disease is decreased.
โ
Less desire to roam. Toms stay closer to home and tend to become calmer and friendlier.
โ
A reduction in the spread of FIV, a virus spread between cats by deep bites/puncture wounds received while fighting.
โ
Longer lifespan: outdoor intact male cats tend to get hurt or die while roaming in search of a female in heat. Neutering removes the urge to roam.
Sterilizing our community cats is beneficial to the community as well. Cats that are spayed/neutered during the TNR process 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. Sterilization also saves taxpayer and animal welfare dollars as fewer animals will be captured, impounded, and eventually euthanized due to illness, injury, or lack of homes. Save a life! Spay or neuter all the cats -- your pet(s) and those outdoors.
