Did you know that one unspayed female cat can produce 1 Million offspring in her lifetime?  Female Cats can have 4 litters per year.  If you think it's just the females think again.  A male cat can father hundreds of kittens in a single month!
 

 One unspayed female dog can produce up to 75 offspring in less than a year.   Females can reproduce at 5 months of age.  Female dogs come in heat twice a year.  By the time she has delivered her second litter, the first litter can be having babies of their own. 

 Every year, millions of animals are euthanized in animal shelters, and millions more are abandoned to die on the streets. The good news is that all these deaths can be prevented with spaying and neutering.


In dogs and cats,
the leading cause of death
is birth. 

Each day 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. - and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. As a result, every year 4 to 6 million animals are euthanized because there are no homes for them.

The ONLY  way to a "no-kill" nation is through a "no-birth" nation!

"A dog is not "almost human" and I know of no greater insult to the canine race than to describe it as such."
