It amazes me how people do not know about CP vouchers. Also perhaps this is a timely reminder for us all to spread the word about the vouchers and also the reasons why neutering/spaying is imperative:-
Benefits of Spaying (females):
No heat cycles, therefore males will not be attracted.
Less desire to roam
Risk of mammary gland tumors, ovarian and/or uterine cancer is reduced or eliminated. even one season increases the chance of cancer later in life. Cats & dogs will not acquire pyometra a life threatening infection & it reduces the risk of FIV and leukaemia
Reduces the number of unwanted cats/kittens and dogs/puppies
Helps dogs and cats live 3 – 5 YEARS LONGER, healthier lives
Benefits of Neutering (males):
Reduces or eliminates risk of spraying and marking
Less desire to roam, therefore less likely to be injured in fights or road traffic accidents.
Risk of testicular cancer is eliminated, and decreases incidence of prostate disease. & it reduces the risk of FIV and leukaemia
Reduces the number of unwanted cats/kittens and dogs/puppies.
Decreases aggressive behaviour,
Helps dogs and cats live 3 – 5 YEARS LONGER, healthier lives
Recently we had 38 unneutered/unspayed cats tested for Leukaemia & FIV 35 were positive. if only one of these had come into contact with any of your cats male or female it could so easily be passed on.
Cats lives have been saved many times when a vet noticed something wrong with a cat that would have remained unnoticed until it was too late had the cat not gone for a neuter/spay.
Cats are 45 times as prolific, and dogs 15 times as prolific, as humans.
