  •  IF you feed a cat or twenty
  •  IF it’s yours, homeless or feral; 
  •  IF it’s NOT SPAYED/ NEUTERED
  • PLEASE READ THIS

 FEED AND FIX   

  • It’s true you are helping these cats be healthier
  • It’s true these cats are now able to reproduce EVEN MORE homeless litters and spread feline diseases… like Feline Leukemia & FIV
  • It’s also true if you are leaving food outside, you are also feeding the skunks, raccoons, fleas, opossum, rats, etc…who are in turn reproducing more offspring than our community can safely handle. 

  

WHAT TO DO If you feed, you must fix to be a true part of the solution to cat overpopulation.  Trap and alter those homeless and feral cats you are feeding and release them back home.   Feed limited quantities at scheduled times. 

                                                                                                            

HOW TO DO IT   

  

  

NOW IS THE BEST TIME FIX!     IT ISN’T EXPENSIVE, $10 – $30 PER CAT  Kittens 8-10 weeks old and Pregnant or In Heat Females can all be safely altered. 

  

OLIVIA’S STORY:  Olivia was born July 2009.  Mid December 2009 she delivered her 1st litter of 4; March 18 she & her 4 kittens were taken in to be altered.  Olivia was already pregnant again.   FIVE adult males were also caught and neutered along with Olivia and her kittens. 

  

SOPHIE’S STORY:  Sophie was born in November 2009.  March 18, along with Olivia and the other 9, she was taken in to be spayed.  She was pregnant with her 1st litter…. 

  

  •  Do you know that 1 male & 1 female cat and ALL of their offspring can produce 12,000 cats in 5 years?  
  •  Do you know that multiple male cats can impregnate the same female? Ever wonder how a litter can be so many different colors? 
  •  Male cats will wander a mile or more in search of a female cat in heat.
