These are several of the cats that were altered at the tnr clinic held by Kaleidoscope Health and Rescue last weekend. Most of the street cats caught at this clinic were females.
Did you know:
An unspayed female cat can have over 100 kittens in her lifetime. Think about that! By spaying 5 females at the clinic they just put a stop to 500 kittens being bornš
Reproduction Facts
⢠Age of maturity: Female cats can become pregnant as early as 4 to 6 months old.
⢠Litters per year: A healthy unspayed cat can have 2 to 3 (and up to 4 or 5) litters every year.
⢠Litter size: The average litter contains 4 to 6 kittens, though it can range from 1 to 9.
⢠Total lifespan potential: Over a typical fertile span of several years, this adds up to roughly 12 to 20 total litters and well past 100 individual kittens if left unspayed.
Please spay and neuterš„¹
