Spay and
neuter
Companion animal overpopu-
lation is a problem that continues
to tax the resources of communi-
ties throughout North America.
Each year, millions of animals
are euthanized in animal shel-
ters because there are simply not Prepare
enough people to adopt them.
One of the easiest ways to for power
prevent pet overpopulation is to
spay and neuter animals. Cats

bred or daylight decreases con-
siderably. Cats can give birth 60
days after they have bred.
With regard to when to spay
or neuter animals, experts ad-
vise taking a “the earlier the bet-
ter” approach. The North Shore
Animal League America’s Spa-
yUSA says that, for many years,
veterinarians were taught that
cats and dogs had to be one year
old to be spayed or neutered. But
it is now known that kittens and
pups can be spayed or neutered
at the age of two months (or two
pounds). The American Veteri-
nary Medical Association has
endorsed this practice, which is
referred to as “early age neuter-
ing.” When spayed or neutered
early, animals recover more
quickly from surgery than they
would if spayed or neutered later
in life.
The Canadian Federation of
Humane Societies offers that
spaying or neutering is the re-
sponsibility of all pet owners.
But for some owners, the cost of
spaying or neutering can be a de-
terrent. Several municipalities,
humane societies and SPCAs
now offer low-cost spay/neuter
programs or clinics to address
this issue. One such organization
is the Beat the Heat Alliance,
Inc., which offers spay/neuter
access, assistance and education
in northeastern Tennessee. The
group also sponsors the Beat the
Heat annual event.
By controlling the rate of re-
production, communities can
help alleviate the strain that is
posed by pet overpopulation.
