Why should I get my cat or kitten desexed?
Many thousands of cats and kittens lose their lives in Australian animal shelters each year. Cats start breeding by 4 months of age and can have three litters a year with 3-5 kittens. Did you know, if left un-desexed, one female cat and her offspring, can produce 2,000 kittens in 4 years?
By getting your feline fur baby desexed, you can:
- Improve your pet’s health and life expectancy
- Save yourself large vet bills from health complications
- Prevent unwanted litters of cats and dogs ending up in local animal rescues, shelters and pounds
- Protect local birds and wildlife from being hunted and attacked
- Help us implement the initiatives included in our Domestic Animal Management Plan
