🐾 Meet Arnie 🐾😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
Arnie is another cat we have taken in from the streets. Like so many others, he is not homeless through any fault of his own.
At some point, Arnie was probably a cute little kitten that someone took home because he was adorable, because a child wanted a pet, or simply on a whim.
But somewhere along the way, he was let down. He was never neutered, and sadly, his life became one of survival.
Hungry, frightened, and left to fend for himself, Arnie wandered the streets.
There are many unneutered male cats out just like him. When unneutered males cross paths, fights are often inevitable. Hormones take over as they compete for territory and females.
After one of these fights, Arnie suffered a very serious injury. He was left with a nasty wound that was painful and becoming infected. Arnie was lucky. Not every cat gets that chance.
Since coming into our care, Arnie has been neutered, microchipped, and received veterinary treatment for his wound. We also tested him for FIV, and thankfully his result was negative.
Arnie has been especially fortunate because kind-hearted people have opened their home to him.
Returning him to the streets would not have been an option, as his wound could easily have become infected again, and unfortunately we currently have no available spaces.
Arnie's story is a reminder of why neutering and spaying are so important.
To everyone who buys a cat, takes in a kitten from friends, or welcomes a new feline companion into their family:
Please think about the consequences of not neutering or spaying your pets.
Allowing cats to reproduce is not an act of kindness.
It contributes to the suffering of countless animals and creates more homeless cats struggling to survive.
Neutered cats are generally calmer, less likely to roam far from home, less likely to get into serious fights, and far less likely to contribute to the growing number of unwanted kittens. They will still hunt, play, and enjoy life, but they will be safer, healthier, and happier😻
The cost of neutering is small compared to the pain, suffering, and expensive veterinary bills that can result from injuries, infections, and unwanted litters.
Please be a responsible pet owner. Neuter. Spay. Microchip.🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
