A female cat and her descendants within four years have the potential of 20,736 offspring. Each year, U.S. shelters euthanize over 10 million homeless dogs and cats. This number doesn't begin to include those that die painful and lonely deaths by starvation, illness, gunshots, poison, automobiles and many other dangers and methods of cruelty. The only way to prevent this waste of life is for responsible owners to spay and neuter their pets. Spaying removes the ovaries and uterus.
Neutering removes the testicles.
Spaying or neutering your pet is the most reliable prevention for many health problems such as infections,cancers, tumors and difficult births. Many behavioral problems, such as spaying, territorial urine-marking, roaming, irritability and aggressiveness, are eliminated or reduced by spaying and neutering. In an attempt to eliminate the birth of thousands of unwanted animals, the Augusta County SPCA requires that all adopted pets be spayed or neutered. The deposit will then be deducted from your bill.
