We get this many times at our cat clinics. Just get them fixed; ALL OF THEM.

Pregnant spays make people emotional.
We know.

Every single time this topic comes up, people immediately picture kittens.
Tiny babies.
“What ifs.”
Potential lives.

But almost nobody stops to picture the mother cat.

And before someone says: “Well I could never do that…”

Respectfully, the cat should have never been pregnant to begin with.

That is the actual problem.

Cats are not out there dreaming about motherhood.
They are surviving.

Most people saying “just let her have the babies” are not the ones:
💔bottle feeding fading kittens at 2am
💔watching kittens die from URI
💔pulling maggots from wounds
💔seeing mothers physically depleted from nonstop litters
💔trying to find homes during a literal cat overpopulation crisis

Because prevention matters❗️
Because suffering matters❗️
Because quality of life matters❗️

And honestly?
𝙎𝙥𝙖𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙄𝙎 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙚𝙧.

✅No more repeated pregnancies.
✅No more nursing litter after litter outside.
✅No more trying to keep babies alive in the heat, cold, rain, traffic, parasites, predators, and disease.

Just because something makes humans emotional does not automatically make it the kinder option for the cat.

And no matter how controversial this topic becomes, one truth always remains: 𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙜𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚.

Says it all. FREE is quite often DOOMED.

Statistically speaking, “free kittens” often continue the heartbreaking cycle of cat overpopulation. Not every kitten ends up adding to the problem, but a high majority do. 😭

If you’re considering taking in free kittens, ask about the mama cat too. Is she being spayed? Is there a plan to prevent more litters? ✂️ People who take kittens without addressing the mother’s situation may unintentionally enable the cycle to continue. Ending suffering starts with prevention. ✅

And if you’re someone who suddenly finds yourself caring for kittens, your first priority should be getting mom fixed. 🐈‍⬛ I know money can be tight and resources can feel impossible to find, but even small sacrifices now can prevent countless future kittens from being born into hardship, danger, or uncertainty. Don’t wait. Make a plan. Skip that morning coffee ☕️ and start saving now.

Reach out to shelters, rescues, or TNR programs for guidance on safely rehoming kittens and getting mom spayed. Many organizations are overwhelmed, especially during kitten season, so they may not be able to solve everything for you, but advice, support, and information can go a long way if you are willing to be proactive. 😻🐾

More often than I want to hear is that there are kittens being brought into this world. Cats get pregnant while nursing, Cats get pregnant going outside "once in a while". Of course, this is ALWAYS human error. THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO NOT HAVING YOUR CATS SPAYED AND NEUTERED. NONE.

How do you get 19 cats in a Prius? Like a tetris and room for one more! I went to Love and Hope Sanctuary in Franklin today to get these owned cats fixed!

Yep, they sure are cute, BUT, there are so many kittens being brought into the world that shelters and rescues cannot keep up with the care and money that it takes to properly house, feed. vaccinate AND SPAY AND NEUTER them all. This is just one of six feral colonies AAM is working on in Chenango County. Luckily, my daughter, Erin, at the Delaware Valley Humane Society In Sidney took these eight just weaned kittens from squatters in Oxford that I discovered. There are four more kittens not weaned there. And the teenage and adult cats at this same place are breeding and fighting and making more homeless kittens. So, AAM is collecting every adult cat here and getting them spayed/neutered/vaccinated in the month of May. There are 12 adults that will cost us plenty to do, but when I was at the location today and one of the females was getting r***d by three males and she had huge cuts on the back of her neck from this I said I MUST HELP ALL OF THESE CATS. After they are fixed at one of our ACS clinics, they will be for adoption. Thanks always to Erin at DVHS for helping with this horrible situation.
