Glupina's Legacy - TNR Project

14/03/2025

Rescue work isn’t about doing what feels good—it’s about doing what’s necessary. And in an already overpopulated world, spay aborts are a necessity.

Every day, shelters and rescues struggle with too many cats and not enough homes. Pregnant strays, abandoned kittens, and dumped litters flood the system, stretching resources thin.

And yet, some rescuers hesitate when it comes to spaying a pregnant cat, letting emotions take priority over logic.

But here’s the reality: every litter born takes away chances for cats already waiting for homes. More kittens mean more competition for adoption, more suffering, and ultimately, more cats facing euthanasia, disease, or life on the streets.

Spaying a pregnant cat isn’t cruelty, it’s prevention. It stops the cycle before more lives are put at risk. A rescuer’s duty is to protect the most lives possible, not just the ones that make them feel good in the moment.

If you’re in rescue, you have a responsibility: stop making excuses. Spay, neuter, and don’t contribute to the crisis you’re trying to fix.

Every time we speak about spay/abort, we experience a certain backlash from people driven by their personal beliefs.

It's disheartening that this important issue is so controversial. The primary aim is to alleviate suffering among street animals, which isn't feasible if we continue to add more cats through breeding.

Just as every purchased animal supports a shelter death, every purposefully bred cat displaces another homeless cat in need. The reality is we have an overwhelming number of cats needing homes but limited resources like fosters, finances, spay/neuter appointments, time, and space in rescues. Opting to birth a cat means denying that opportunity to cats already struggling on the streets, waiting for rescue.

While it's not pleasant to perform spay/abort procedures, our focus is on the welfare of cats, not personal preferences. It's crucial to spay pregnant cats as soon as possible to prevent further suffering and overcrowding.

The decision to perform these procedures is rooted in empathy and practical case management, driven by the harsh realities we witness daily.

Another SpayDay is complete, and our kitties are slowly waking up to a brighter future! ✨

With this latest group, we have now reached a total of 304 cats spayed since the start of our project. While we wish the number were even higher, we are doing everything we can to make a lasting impact—one cat at a time.

For anyone involved in animal welfare, the message is clear: TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) is essential. We cannot adopt our way out of cat overpopulation. The only real, long-term solution is spaying and neutering. Every procedure prevents countless future litters, sparing so many cats from lives of hardship on the streets.

Please continue to stand with us. Your support is what keeps this mission alive, and we truly can’t do it without you. ♥️

☀️It's a SpayDay ☀️

It’s been a while since our last SpayDay, but we’re finally back on track! ❄️ This winter was especially harsh, forcing us to pause our efforts until the weather improved. But today, we’re thrilled to resume with 11 lucky kitties scheduled for their life-changing appointments—mostly young ones from last year’s litters, along with a veteran mama.

We’ll let you do the math on how many lives will be saved in the long run thanks to this single day. TNR is not just important—it’s essential. It’s the only real solution to preventing the immense suffering that stray animals endure on the streets.

Please continue to support our mission this year so we can keep making a difference! ♥️
