The hordes of homeless and feral cats everywhere are growing by
leaps and bounds, and finally people are beginning to wake up to
the necessity of neutering their cats.
Population Explosion
Because cats can reproduce several times a year, and kittens
mature quickly, just 2 feral cats (the wild offspring of
domestic cats) can quickly become 2,000. In fact, the feline
reproduction statistics are staggering. 2 uncontrolled breeding
cats produce: 2 litters a year, at a survival rate of 2.8
kittens per litter. Continued breeding will produce 12 cats the
first year, 66 cats the second year, 2,201 cats in

Unaltered Cats Spread Disease Many of these feral cats are
actually unaltered pet cats (or their offspring) that were
released by owners who could no longer care for them. A colony
of feral cats can spread diseases among pet cats and dogs in the
area.
Even when these cats are fairly healthy, they are usually
infested with fleas. Hungry cats will raid trash cans, and
playful kittens will destroy shrubbery and soil lawn furniture.

Spaying and neutering cats provides several important benefits
in addition to reducing the number of unwanted cats. If you have

pitifully at the door will soon be joined by the yowling and

the reproductive organs are very rare in cats
that are altered prior to 1 year of age. Unaltered cats can also
develop a number of reproductive diseases that are contagious.
Help Make Every Cat A Wanted Cat
Kittens can be altered at quite a young age. Some humane
societies routinely alter kittens at 8 weeks. While some
veterinarians feel that it is better to wait until kittens are 5
or 6 months, that is often simply not a option. Certainly for
feral kittens who are trapped for altering, then released back
into their colonies, or for those who share a home with other
unaltered cats, neutering at the

critical.
Most cats heal well and without incident after being neutered.
However, a cat can contract an infection in the incision. Check
your cat daily to be sure the incision area has not turned red
and puffy. If you notice your cat licking or chewing at the
stitches, your vet may suggest a surgery collar to keep the
stitches out of reach until the incision is healed. While male
cats can be active and bouncy without injuring themselves after
neutering, female cats should be confined indoors for a few days
after the surgery.
