Neutering Scheme
It is important to have both male and female cats neutered, to avoid unwanted kittens. A female cat can be responsible for 20,000 descendants in just five years, so please act NOW. It is not expensive and, if you are on benefits, a pension or a low income it can be even cheaper thanks to our low-cost neutering scheme.

Neutering is the key to reducing the vast number of unwanted cats. Did you know that a female cat can, in just five years, be responsible for 20,000 descendants. In one year alone a healthy female cat, who has not been spayed, can have up to three litters, with five or six kittens each time. That adds up to 18 good caring homes to be found each year just for one cat's kittens.
A neutered cat is also less likely to catch FIV or FeLV, which are life threatening diseases. These diseases are transmitted through the cat's saliva, which makes fighting toms more at risk. They can then infect un-neutered females during the mating season, thereby spreading the diseases still further.
Do you want to be responsible for part of this growing cat population? Alternatively do you want to incur veterinary costs through partly avoidable diseases? If not, then please act now and contact us for details or contact your own veterinary surgon about having your cat neutered.
Just remember, it costs far more to feed a pregnant cat and her kittens than to pay for a spaying operation. Also an un-castrated tom marks his territory with strong smelling urine. He will also do this inside the house as well as in the garden and his perceived territorial area.
Act now before it is too late, young cats from six months of age can become pregnant. Don't forget "a stitch in time saves not nine, but eighteen unwanted cats in one year.
