Male cats who are neutered are less likely to fight over territory and mates.

With less fighting comes fewer bite wounds, abscesses, and injuries, as well as a reduced risk of spreading diseases between cats. The result? Happier, healthier cats who can spend more time relaxing and less time recovering from battles.

Make sure all male cats are so they aren't getting beat up, injured, and suffering outdoors.

The shelter is open today, and they have some amazing dogs waiting on their forever.

Bell- Around 2 years old, up to date on vaccines, on the schedule to be spayed. Bell is sweet and loves to go on walks. She plays for a bit, but we think she truly just wants to be a couch potato. At This point, the shelter believes she needs to be the only pet in the home.,

Tahoe- around 2 years old, up to date on vaccines, and already spayed. This girl has been waiting for so long to find her forever home. She can get along with other dogs but we aren’t sure about cats.

Chimichanga- ADOPTED

Camero- Handsome Aussie mix around 5 years old, up to date on vaccines, and on the schedule to be neutered. Camero is very you driven and has a lot of behaviors/qualities of herding breeds. Can get along with other dogs, but needs someone who understands resource guarding and can work with him. Not sure how he would do with cats or kids.

Juniper- Around 2 years old, 40 pounds, up to date on vaccines, and on the schedule to be spayed. Such a sweet girl who loves to play. She is dog friendly and while we don’t know for sure yet, would most likely do well with cats and kids. This girl will make a great little family dog.

Lyric- HOME TRIAL

Titus- Handsome boy around 5 years old, up to date on vaccines, and on the schedule to be neutered. He came in extremely underweight but is looking so much better. He is fighting ear infections right now, so he needs them cleaned regularly. Loves playing with balls. Previous owner stated that he did great with her cat and her female dog. We are unsure about male dogs.

If you are interested in any of these dogs, please stop by the shelter today. They have all been waiting for too long.

Neutering a male cat offers many health and behavioral benefits. 🐈💙

Benefits of neutering include:

• Reducing roaming and urine spraying
• Decreasing aggression and fighting
• Eliminating the risk of testicular cancer and lowering the risk of prostate problems
• Reducing the risk of certain infections
• Preventing unwanted litters and helping control cat overpopulation

Neutering helps cats live healthier, safer lives while also reducing the number of kittens born into homelessness.

TNVR — because cats can't carry condoms.

It’s not funny when one cat turns into dozens … then hundreds. 😬

✅ Spay/neuter is the only way to stop the cycle of suffering.

Be part of the solution. Spay + Neuter.

Trap. Neuter. Vaccinate. Return.
