We feel strongly that all cats not required for breeding should be neutered to prevent over-population. There are already far too many unwanted cats and kittens needing homes.

Neutered cats are less likely to contract fatal diseases such as FIV (feline AIDS) and FeLV (feline leukaemia). These diseases are spread via saliva, and un-neutered cats are more inclined to fight and inflict bites and scratches.

If you are on a low income, or know somebody on a low income, we can help with the cost of neutering. If you require a neutering voucher you should email caldercats@hotmail.co.uk with the owner’s name, address and telephone number along with the cat’s name, age and sex. Alternatively you can leave these details with West Mount Vets at Todmorden on 01706 812568 or West Mount Vets at Mytholmroyd on 01422 889970.
