📚 Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: spaying and neutering

Let's continue our discussion on reproduction.....

SNiP Now shared this very informative post regarding female fertility and reproduction. They wrote:
"We have had a few calls from people worried their cats are in pain as they are exhibiting symptoms of yowling and other unusual behaviors (rubbing all over items). What these individuals are describing is their female cat having heat cycles which can occur in females as young as 4-months of age. Yowling, rubbing, raising the behind up in the air (lordosis reflex), spraying, the desire to go outside and find a mate...are all symptoms that can occur during a female cat's heat cycle. Sometimes females can appear more loving and other times females can have more aggressive tendencies during this cycle."

Remember that spaying a cat will eliminate these behaviors as well as help control the cat population. Please have your cat spayed by 4 months of age!

This expectant queen is safe tonight in a foster home. She is about ready to pop, and her babies would not have survived the frigid weather that is coming. She and her babies now have a chance at finding furrever homes. We are so happy Momma is in a home warm and fed. Thank you, Karlie!
Now we have 2 more kittens to rescue and get out of this cold.

Peanut new name Portia found her perfect home. She is a beautiful girl who wanted her own home without any other pets and she found it. Here’s to the best life ever. Thank you to Linda from the Region Cat Cafe for helping us match her with Jim and Jane. Please remember if you only want one cat, ask about our cats who want to be the prince or princess of a home.

Let’s all join together and share this post of Smirk. He is STILL looking for a home. He needs to be an only kitty, because of this he is NOT at the Cat Cafe. If you only want one or know someone else that does, please consider this boy.
2025 will start off great if we can find him a home!!!
