Cats for Adoption: Mimi Says, “For Mother’s Day, Spay Your Cat.”

Mimi waited until today to give her annual Mother’s Day address along with our weekly post about cats for adoption, featuring several homeless rescued kittens…if all cats were spayed before reproducing, there would be no homeless kittens to post. This is Mimi’s wish as a mother of 24 kittens. Much

I Prevented the Birth of 420,000 Kittens—I Spayed My Cat

Turnabout is fair play. If the figure of 420,000 kittens potentially being born to one unspayed female cat—and her kittens, and her kittens’ kittens, etc., etc.—is constantly tossed about by both people who think cats should be spayed and by those who think they should be eradicated as noxious pests,

Why People Do—and Don’t—Adopt Cats

It’s proven in statistics and surveys that, although more cats than dogs are kept as household pets, cats overall get fewer visits to the veterinarian and fewer studies are done on behalf of their physical and emotional health and welfare. This overall lack of treatment also bears out in lower
