Someone shot my friend Lindsay Piro’s cat Roscoe. He made it home but did not survive. This was a gun gun, not a BB gun. If you have any information, please share.

‼️ Make no mistake - this is never an accident. ‼️

This is their INSTINCT. They (male and female) will do anything they can to find a way out when it is time to mate.

We hear different versions of this ALL THE TIME.

"I thought it was a male, but turns out she's female."
🐾 Never assume the gender of a cat. Never take someone else's word for it. BOTH genders need to be fixed for their health and well-being on top of helping with overpopulation.

"I thought kitten season was over."
🐾 Kitten season is never over. Plain and simple.

"She doesn't even like going outside, but she got out when my kids had the door open."
🐾 When mating is the only thing on their mind, they will escape any chance possible - guaranteed.

"I didn't have enough money to fix her right now. There's no way I can afford her AND kittens?"
🐾 Certainly a reasonable statement. But, if you know you cannot afford mama and her kittens (because it WILL happen), it is best to try to make other arrangements for her. Reach out to every shelter, rescue or low-cost clinic to see what options you have. You may find someone to help. Taking care of mama and four kittens is likely more expensive than the low-cost spay surgery. And please, please don't hand off your unspayed female to someone else unless you know the person and are absolutely positive they will have her fixed. Make a plan BEFORE you are stuck in this bad situation.

"We were keeping her inside until she got spayed, but she pushed the screen out of the window last night!"
🐾 And if she comes back, she will be pregnant and you will now have kittens to deal with on top of mom.

"We don't have any male cats around here, so I don't know how she got pregnant."
🐾 Male cats will travel up to 5 miles in search of a female in heat.

"She's just a kitten. I had no idea she was old enough to get pregnant."
🐾 It is possible for kittens to get pregnant at only 4 months of age.

The 1️⃣ answer that solves all of these scenarios is to have your cats spayed or neutered before the age of 4 months. There are ZERO "accidents" if they are fixed. To you, it's just one litter. To shelters and rescues, it's another litter they can't absorb.
