Neutering
Think about neutering sooner rather than later!
Whether you have a domestic pet or farm cats or ferals living in the area, neutering is important. An un-neutered tom will be more prone to fighting and more likely to spread disease through cat bites, neutering will not reduce a cats ability to hunt. A large percentage of our funds go towards neutering. If we get to groups of cats before they have bred into colonies , the problem is much easier and cheaper to deal with. Our funds are not endless, so please if you notice cats breeding on your farm, take action now. If you have a pet cat and feel you are unable to afford to neuter it, we are able to help.
The Stranraer District assisted in the neutering of an incredible 471 cats in Wigtownshire during 2011
