"World Spay Day—the last Tuesday of February—provides an opportunity for shelter and rescue organizations to highlight their spay/neuter programs and win more community support in the form of donors, volunteers and clients. Created by the Doris Day Animal League in 1995 as Spay Day USA, World Spay Day has been recognized by nearly 70 countries, shining a spotlight on the power of affordable, accessible spay/neuter to save the lives of companion animals, community (feral and stray) cats and street dogs who might otherwise be put down in shelters or killed on the street."

My human comes from a long line of people spaying and neutering their cats, starting with her grandmother in the 1950s! So she grew up with spay and neuter.
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!
DeleteWE SAY YAY FOR SPAY!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Teddy
Our kitties are spayed and neutered. I'm not spayed, but one day maybe I will be. Mom says it is better to wait because it helps my overall growth, joints, and bones. I only go into heat once a year, so it's not so bad.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful thing, once it's over! It's a must do!
ReplyDeleteMy Daisy Mae spayed and/or neutered. I agree it is a must do. Wish everyone would take this advice.
ReplyDeleteAs we write this, Mom is working to gain the trust of a female stray she's named Mary. Mary is a lovely tabby with bright white paws, but clearly she's going to become a meowmy if our Mom doesn't lure her into the live trap. Trouble is we also have raccoons and the Garage Band (Nik, Chevy and Jesse) who might sneak into the trap to eat the bait. So Mom needs to learn Mary's arrival pattern and set the trap before she releases the Garage Band for the day. Ah Spring! There is always one or two...or three kitties in need of a snip and spay.
ReplyDeleteKudos to your Mama and we wish her a lot of luck with "Mary!!!" xoxo
DeleteLove it, Cody! You made us laugh with your graphic :)
ReplyDeleteNo babies for Athena either.

ReplyDeleteYou're a very responsible mancat, Cody!
ReplyDeleteWe've always altered our cats from Gramma on. TW volunteers with the local TNR group. Did they know she was trapping stray cats in the 1980s and getting them altered?
ReplyDeleteIf I had kittens, that would surely destroy all my dreams of ever owning a tasty whole chicken farm. Kitten support would be a b!+ch! ~Bear Cat
ReplyDeleteWe're big proponents for spaying and neutering too, Cody and Caren!
ReplyDeleteI love your graphic for World Spay Day! Truffle and Brulee were spayed at about 7 months of age. Persians tend to mature a little later and our breeder recommended we wait until about 6 months. Luckily, neither had gone into heat before the surgery.
ReplyDeletethank you!!! You were wise to listen to the breeder!
DeleteOh Cody, your graphic made me laugh!!! All kitties (and dog) spayed/neutered in this house!
ReplyDeleteThe second pic, lol. So sad, nothing there, and nothing here, too! My car was spayed last year.
