\n2) Avoid annoying behavior of a cat in heat<\/span>
\n
\n3) Prevention of health problems later in life<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The main reason to consider spaying your cat is due to unwanted litters of kittens. \u00a0The average fertile cat produces 1 to 2 litters per year. \u00a0The average litter size is 4 to 6 kittens.\u00a0<\/span>According to the ASPCA about 1.3 million cats are euthanized each year.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0It is estimated there are 70 million stray cats in the\u00a0US. The vast majority of cats entering shelters are not spayed. \u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Cats that are not spayed frequently develop mammary cancers or pyometra, a serious type of uterus infection, later in life. Spaying a cat early in life prevents these problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do your part! \u00a0Spay your cat! \u00a0Keep her indoors. \u00a0Provide exercise, a good diet and good health care. \u00a0A cat should be taken to your veterinarian annually for a physical exam, vaccines, parasite protection and any other necessary health care needs. \u00a0Remember – dogs and cats age much faster proportionately compared to humans.<\/span><\/span>
