Why spaying and neutering before adoption matters! 💛

If a cat leaves a shelter intact, there is a 10-60% chance that their owners will not get them spayed or neutered. 🙀

Fixing before adoption (or by five months) boosts compliance up to 100%! Which means no new litters and less shelter overcrowding!

Boo! 👻 In the spirit of Halloween week, we are sharing SCARY facts and why it's important to spay and neuter early!

Cats can go into their first heat as young as four months! It is best to spay or neuter by five months, to prevent accidental litters. 👍

Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine & Veterinary Hospital shared an excellent resource regarding estimating a kitten's age by just looking at their teeth.
(Published August 19th)

"Baby teeth appear by 2–3 weeks, start falling out around 14–16 weeks, and are fully replaced by adult teeth by about 6 months. They use this in Shelter Medicine to help determine if kittens are old enough for certain vaccines and now you can use this chart to impress your friends with your kitten-age guessing skills!"

Why fix your kitten by five months of age? There are so many health benefits!

The risk of pyometra (uterine infection) is eliminated early in life.

The risk of mammary gland cancer is reduced by 91% if spayed before the first heat cycle.

Roaming behaviors are reduced, which prevents illness and accidents (animal bites, getting hit by a car, etc.)
