Public benefits

Helping to keep the cat population under control and reducing the number of unwanted kittens who may otherwise be neglected due to lack of financial resources which in turn also helps the local animal shelter by keeping the number of unwanted cats being sent there down. By getting the cats neutered for a donation as otherwise, it would be very

expensive to get neutering done at the normal prices. Only good as it is encouraging people to get their cats neutered. This helps particularly where there are lots of residents living in an area as it helps to stop the unneutered cats from getting into fights and causing problems between the neighbours. Once the cats have been neutered the residents tend to be more accepting of the cats as there's not litter after litter of kittens and it stops male cats from getting into fights in the middle of the night. This neutering service also helps to reduce levels of stress for many people where a situation might have got out of hand when their unneutered cat has kittens and in turn, the kittens when they are 4 months old can also get pregnant. The cats and the public, the unemployed and low earners Yes this service is very necessary as a female cat can get pregnant from the age of 4 months old and have kittens up to 3 times a year till she gets spayed. Female cats can have on average 4/6 kittens each time and her reproductive capacity does not diminish so she can continue to give birth throughout their lives till she is spayed. Getting a male cat neutered is also very important as it helps to keep the cat population down. It also reduces the risk of spraying and marking their territory and making awful noises in their search for a female. It makes them less inclined to roam and get into fights with other animals, hit by a car, lost or stolen. Neutering reduces the risk of disease. Cats who mate with other cats are at a higher risk of a range of diseases that are spread through bites and fights
