Spaying or Neutering is Good for you and Your Pet!

• Sterilized pets live longer, healthier lives.

• Sterilized pets make better pets, more

affectionate companions and are less

likely to roam or fight.

• Sterilized cats are less likely to spray and

mark territory

• Unsterilized animals exhibit more behavior problems, and may be more likely to bite. Females in heat often cry incessantly and attract unwanted males.

• Sterilization reduces pet overpopulation and the number of unwanted animals killed in

our animal shelters . . . 300,000 in

North Carolina in 2006 alone.

It’s easy to produce

80 million cats . . .

Allow two cats and their offspring to breed for 10 years, and you’ll produce 80,399,780 cats, assuming two litters per year and 2.8 surviving kittens per litter. Most of these cats will be killed in animal shelters because there just aren’t enough homes for them all.

Year 1: 12

Year 2: 66

Year 3: 382

Year 4: 2,201

Year 5: 12,680

Year 6: 73,041

Year 7: 420, 715

Year 8: 2,423,316

Year 9: 13,968,290

Year 10: 80,399,780

Do your part to stop the suffering.

Have your pets spayed or neutered.
