Yes!!! Please contact us if you need help finding a low cost spay or neuter program. Spaying one female can literally save thousands of lives. Also it is the law in RI to have all cats vaccinated and spayed or neutered by 6 months of age. An unfixed male can spay and become aggressive and unfixed female not only can get pregnant but when heat they can become aggressive as well and do anything they can to get outside. They also have a higher chance a cancer when not spayed. Please do your part and spay or neuter your cats! >^..^

We understand that some can not afford to get their cats spayed and neutered but the results of not doing so puts a strain on all rescues. We hear all the time that my cat had kittens and we gave them away. Not only is this irresponsible and illegal for not having them spayed or neutered but it causes more work for people that volunteer in rescue as more than likely those kittens you just gave away will not get proper veterinary care either and will end up reproducing. It is the law in RI to have your cats spayed or neutered and vaccinated by 6 months of age. If you can’t do this then please do not get that kitten. There are many rescources for low cost spay and neuters in RI but they all have waiting lists. We are also very lucky here in RI as we have a lot of rescues that are willing to help. That’s what we are here for. Please reach out if you find yourself in need and report anyone you know that is selling kittens. Unless they are a licensed breeder no one in RI should be selling kittens. Rescue do charge an adoption fee to try to break even on what they have spent on on veterinary fees. The adoption fee never covers what rescues have invested into each and every cat and kitten so we fundraise to make up the difference. Please spay and neuter. It really does save lives! >^..^

BEFORE YOU GET OFFENDED when someone suggests you neuter your cat please read this.

1. When a cat becomes pregnant, it is not through choice. There is no romantic liaison.... it literally is the equivalent of sexual assault.
The male cat's p***s is barbed and causes excruciating pain for the female.

2. Every rescue is dependent on volunteers. Volunteers who lose family time, money, sleep, weekends and evenings caring for and fundraising to ensure unwanted cats get the correct care.

3.Animals have no voice.. So when somebody speaks on their behalf, stop getting upset.

4.Uneutered Male cats will wander in search of females. They will fight ferociously and cause terrible injury to other males in the process causing sepsis. And dreadful life threatening diseases.

5. Every litter of kittens born in your home and sold adds to the problem by stopping a rescue cat being adopted.

6. Rescues are full to capacity with cats which have been bought on a whim of Facebook and surrendered or abandoned due to boredom or inability to afford vet bills, Neuter, Vaccines, Food, Flea and worm treatment

7. Each rescue has a waiting list. They spend literally thousands of dollars a year on Vet Treatment. Food, Litter. Flea and Worm Treatment, Electricity, Shelter Rent, Fuel... These are just the basics.

8. Behind the scenes volunteers nurse kittens every 2-4 hours, feed ferals everyday, clean litter boxes and field calls from people several times a day. All this while fundraising constantly. Worry about cats who have been surrendered and are traumatised by being torn from its surroundings and carry the guilt of the decisions they have to make.

9. Rescues have volunteers who drive for miles. Trapping stray and dumped cats, picking up unwanted cats and spending hours on the phone trying to find spaces and homes for unwanted pets.

10. Volunteers spend their free time and energy picking up the pieces from people who allow cats to have kittens and refuse to neuter.

Please don’t be offended when someone asks are you getting your cat neutered - rescues see the consequences of these actions every day 365 days a year and are simply giving a voice to the vulnerable creatures so casually given away or sold for a dollar.
