Why you should Spay or Neuter your cat?
- Cats can start mating as early as six months
- Even indoor-only house cats often find ways to get outdoors when the sexual urge hits them, whether they disappear for good (due to panic, accidents, or enemies) or they return home, kittens are the result
- An unaltered male cat can father hundreds of kittens a year
- Statistically speaking, even if a person finds good homes for a litter of kittens, some of the kittens will grow up and produce litters of kittens
- Spaying a female before her first heat protects her from risks of uterine, ovarian, and mammary cancers
- Spaying also protects her from the stresses of pregnancy
- Spaying reduces her frantic interest in the outdoors and reduces the chances that she'll wander far
- Spaying reduces the chances she'll mark your home with urine when she's in heat
- Unaltered cats have urges that make them irritable and anxious. They yowl or whine frequently, fight with other cats, and/or destroy objects in the house
- Neutering a male reduces his risk from numerous health problems
- Neutering lowers his urge to roam and to fight, and thus lowers chances of disease transmission and woundings
- Neutering also reduces his tendency to spray in the home
- And neutering eliminates the powerful odor of adult male cat urine

We have decided to renovate instead of move!
If you visit the shelter now you will see a work in progress but once the dust settles we will have four rooms for our residents and a separate office space. We have been very busy cleaning out and choosing paint and hope that you like the results. The dust started flying at the beginning of 2012 and will settle very soon.
Thank you to all of our tireless volunteers who have kept our residents fed and happy and kept the shelter clean and tidy during the renovations. You are the best!
