The Impact of Just Two Cats
It is estimated that 1 cat + 1 cat and their offspring = 420,000 cats in just seven years. There are just simply not enough homes for those cats. And, think about how many cats there are in the United States; what if every two cats equals 420,000 cats? That is the reason why neuter and spay is so essential ... plus, it is good for your pet.

2. Pets become calmer, more affectionate companions.
3. Cats are less likely to spray and mark territory.
4. Aggressive behavior is reduced, making pets less likely to bite.
5. Pets are less likely to roam the neighborhood, run away, or get into fights.
6. Eliminates testicular cancer and decreases the incidence of prostate disease.
7. Eliminates or reduces the incidence of health problems which can be difficult and expensive to treat as your pet ages.
8. Eliminates the possibility of diseases of the reproductive tract, including ovaries, uterus, and breast cancer, particularly if your pet is spayed before her fist estrus cycle.
9. Millions of your tax dollars are spent by communities to control unwanted animals.
