• one female cat can have up to three litters per year. She and her kittens can produce up to 400,000 more cats in their lifetimes if they are not spayed.

• cats and kittens are euthanized every year in the hundreds of thousands due to overcrowding and lack of resources.

• feral (not stray) cats are typically not good adoption candidates, having never socialized with humans. Instead of being killed, they may live out their lives happily without reproducing!

• it stops suffering at the source and ultimately requires less resources from community and/or shelter facilities, especially long-term.

• of course, we encourage you to donate directly and you can donate to OCC Cats below. (you leave our site doing this)
