Pet Overpopulation

If you are a pet owner, one of the most important things you can do to help the pet overpopulation crisis is to get your pets spayed and neutered.   Whether your pets are indoor pets, outdoor, or a mix of both, spaying and neutering your pets is the easiest way to help control the pet population.

To put it into perspective, according to AnimalLeague.org one un-spayed female cat and one unneutered male cat and their offspring can produce up to 2,000 more cats in just 4 years.  That's 2,000 unwanted kittens that now need to find homes.  Our local shelters are already overcrowded, without the added strain of oops litters.
