This is Ponyo, a cat who arrived at our spay/neuter clinic with a life-threatening complication called "dystocia", where a mother cannot naturally deliver her kittens during labor. Without immediate medical intervention, dystocia is fatal. Our team had to act fast.
Thanks to our incredible partners at People for Animal Care & Kindness, who covered the costs of her emergency spay, our team was able to begin Ponyo's surgery immediately. We got to work and thankfully were able to remove a kitten stuck inside her, saving her life. Ponyo is now safely recovering with her babies and will never have another litter.
Spaying and neutering your pets eliminates the risk of fatal birth complications like dystocia, keeps unwanted litters off the streets, reduces shelter overcrowding, and prevents unnecessary euthanasia. Please spay and neuter your pets! Book an appointment with us here: https://bit.ly/PasadosSpayNeuter
Thank you to PACK and every one of our supporters for making these second chances possible. 💚
