HOME	Why Neuter? PREPARING FOR THE KINDEST CUT OF ALL! WHY NEUTER? PLEASE GIVE THE ADVICE OUT TO ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO HAS A CAT/DOG Perhaps you will care to view .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ4M-H29LCw although not shot in the UK the problem is still an issue here. It is not nice but a fact and It's a harsh look at the real world and good reason to spread the word as to why neutering/spaying is essential.
Every year, HUNDREDS THOUSANDS OF cats and millions, of other animals are euthanased because they were born into a world that does not have enough homes for them. For every one companion animal who lives indoors with a human family and receives the attention, health care, and emotional support that he or she needs, there are thousands just barely surviving. Millions of domestic animals never know a kind human touch and live hard lives on the street before dying equally hard deaths. We appreciate that people say they can always find good homes, however, those good homes could go to cats and kittens what will be put to sleep quite simply because no homes are available. Benefits of Neutering (males): Reduces or eliminates risk of spraying and marking Less desire to roam, therefore less likely to be in road traffic accidents, injured or cause injury to others in fights Decreases aggressive behaviour Risk of testicular cancer is eliminated and decreases incidence of prostate disease. So indoor cats need neutering too Benefits of Spaying (females): No heat cycles, therefore males will not be attracted. Less desire to roam Risk of mammary gland tumors, ovarian and/or uterine cancer is reduced or eliminated. Even one season increases the chance of cancer later in life. So indoors cats need spaying also. Cats & dogs will not acquire pyometra a life threatening infection. Also it is an old wives tale that cats should have a litter of kittens before spaying. All vets agree that it is of no benefit at all, in fact quite the reverse. Neuters & spays reduces the risk of feline aids and leukaemia which is rife in our area. Reduces the number of unwanted cats/kittens and dogs/puppies. Many go on to lead very short sad lives. Helps cats (& dogs) live 3 – 5 YEARS LONGER, healthier lives. We had 38 unneutered/unspayed cats tested for Leukaemia & aids 35 were positive. (not transferable to humans) if only one of these had come into contact with any of your cats male or female it could so easily be passed on. Cats lives have been saved many times when a vet noticed something wrong with a cat that would have remained unnoticed until it was too late had the cat not gone for a neuter/spay. TRAPS AND FULL COST VOUCHERS ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE, AND WE ALWAYS HAVE FERAL CATS SUITABLE FOR FARMS AND STABLES LOOKING FOR HOMES IF YOU HAVE A DOG THAT NEEDS NEUTERING/SPAYING PLEASE RING 0115 963 8238 FOR ADVICE AS TO HOW TO GET CHEAP ‘OPS’ COLONIES For colonies of 6 or more (farm or garden cats) Cats Protection will pay most of the cost of neutering/spaying and in some cases all the cost.. Remember apart from the above risks if the cats have this simple procedure they will be able to keep their minds on what they are supposed to be doing and not on the opposite sex. Traps are available if required to assist you.
