These reproduction facts clarify the need for community sterilization programs. Free roaming groups of cats and dogs can pose a threat to humans, pets or properties. They can also spread infections and disease plus breeding at will results in more unwanted animals born.
Many communities have large colonies of un-owned cats. Cats that might be feral (wild and unapproachable) as well as cats that live both inside and outside of home. Some counties have trap-neuter-return programs where cats are trapped, transported for surgery, and returned to where they came from to be cared for by their owner. Unsterilized dogs living outside on a chain or roaming free only add to overpopulated areas in the community. While many NC counties have spay/neuter programs in place, others have none.
Our mission is to provide low cost spay/neuter programs to aid community pets, reduce the number of unwanted litters and reduce euthanasia in shelters.
