She's not strong enough to be spayed'. I'd like the children to see her have kittens'. Such owners should then take the children to animal shelters or vet surgeries to see unwanted kittens being destroyed. Out of every 5 kittens born, probably only one is likely to find a permanent home. I always find good homes for all the kittens'.
Every kitten born means one less home for a cat.
It is more expensive to care for a pregnant cat and her kittens up to rehoming age than to pay for spay surgery. Pregnant and nursing cats need additional food. Kittens eat more than you may realise because they are growing fast. There is profit in breeding cats' Cat breeders make little or no profit. Most don't even cover their costs.
