Ugh sorry for the venting but I just don't understand it. There are lots of lower cost clinics and even rescues that will help but a lot of people don't even try to find any help. I see so many unfixed, unchipped cats roaming about, so many posted as lost. Like why? If your cat is fixed they stay closer to home, less risk of cat fights for sure. There has been a study that has unfixed cats roaming as far as 49 blocks from home. That's al ot of traffic to dodge, and people won't know your cat is allowed to roam nor do they want an unfixed cat on their property spraying. A micro-chip means they go back home asap. Kitten season is so overwhelming for rescues and shelters, they shut intakes down frequently because of how full they are. I just don't get it. I even know of some people who refuse to spay/neuter even if it's free. I volunteer in a rescue that deals with over requests to take in at least 50 cats/kittens every day sometimes. It's insanity. If people fixed their cats, then so many cats/kittens who need to be rehomed would actually get a chance. Cause yes you might find good homes for the kittens, but you take away homes from cats/kittens whose owners may not be as nice. You know how many threats we get that they will dump them, or kill them? A LOT. If you love cats.. please.. pleeasssee spay and neuter your cats.
