Tomorrow is National Free Spay a Feral Cat Day. And it’s an important day. Each year since this day was established, more and more veterinarians worldwide have become involved. We should thank them for their service.
So what’s the big deal? We all love kittens. Is 
there anything more adorable???? But we also want all cats and kittens to thrive in the world they’re born into. Here’s an eye opener: According to statistics, one unspayed female cat can be responsible for 420,000 kittens over a period of 10 years.
When you consider that seventy percent of households in the US have cats—which is approx 90 million households—and that there are estimated to be as many as 100
million stray cats/homeless cats in this country alone, you can see that we have a huge problem—that we’re creating a huge problem for the cat population.
Certainly, there are many agencies and individuals working hard to help manage the cat population, but as you can see by the statistics, we still have a long way to go.
If you know of one or more cats in your neighborhood that aren’t being cared for and that are not spayed-neutered—maybe it’s time to become pro-active. Take advantage of FREE Spay Day, unite as a neighborhood and connect with an agency to trap these cats and have them neutered/spayed.
