The Truth About Spaying or Neutering Your Cat
Reviewed by Audrey Cook, BVM&S
An estimated 5 million to 8 million animals are euthanized in shelters across this country every year. Many organizations are working to decrease that number by opening low-cost spay/neuter clinics that will prevent more litters of cats that need homes. One such organization is LifeLine Animal Project, an Atlanta-based nonprofit shelter and clinic where more than 25,000 spaying and neutering procedures have been performed since 2005. Here, executive director Rebecca Guinn answers the most commonly asked questions about spaying and neuteringcats.
Q: Why should I have my cat spayed or neutered?
A: Shelter euthanasia is the number one killer of companion animals. Spaying and neutering is the only way to reduce or eliminate that. It’s also better for your pet’s health. And having a cat that’s spayed or neutered will make your life easier.

JOJO - A1059505 - Brooklyn - Rescue Only
TO BE DESTROYED 12/07/15 **NEEDS A NEW HOPE RESCUE TO PULL** ON LIST AFTER 2 DAYS! It is hard to understand exactly what is going on with Jojo – he was brought to the shelter when his owner became too sick to care for him. His former owner stated JoJo has been with the family for 6 months. JoJo lived with 1 adult and 3 young children and no other animals. Jojo is reported to be affectionate and gentle with the children. Why he has been labeled RESCUE ONLY is baffling as he did well on his safer test except that he did not want to share his toy. Really – here is a dog who has just lost everything and maybe he was happy to have just one thing that was his – who knows. Jojo also seems to have some sort of medical issue and will need to see a vet – something that was not noted during intake. Makes one wonder what happened to him since his arrival. Regardless, Jojo needs a miracle tonight to save his life but it is said this is the season of miracles so let’s make it happen for Jojo. Please contact rescues NOW or email the help desk at helpdogs@urgentpodr.org for help. Jojo’s life depends on it. Please let’s not let him down.
