“Kitten season” is here and it’s not a good thing. An estimated 20 MILLION kittens will be born this spring! Rescue groups, shelters and humane societies nationwide are overwhelmed with unwanted kittens arriving daily.
Less than 3% of the feral and stray cat population is spayed or neutered—and they are responsible for 80% of all the kittens born every year! Rescuers can scoop up stray kittens all day long but we will never get a handle on our cat overpopulation crisis until the adults are fixed. Yes, it is a crisis. Most people don't realize that every day 2,300 cats and kittens are euthanized in municipal shelters simply because of overpopulation.
If you are feeding outdoor cats, please do your part to help stop the cycle by having them spayed or neutered through a TNR (trap-neuter-return) program. TNR is safe, humane and the proven SOLUTION to cat overpopulation.
