Why should I have my cat neutered? Neutering your cats protects them against illness such as STDs and womb infections etc. It also helps to prevent cats from wandering in search of mates. Females cats came become quite distressed if they are frequently 'in season', not to mention the size of the litters cats produce and the fact that they have the ability to reproduce from a very young age. To find out more about this please have a look at this

If you are on a means tested benefit (including Working Tax Credit and Pension credit but not just state pension) and live in the qualifying post code areas you may qualify for help from Cats Protection towards getting your cat 'done' - known as neutering - you can contact the below listed vets direct if you qualify, but you MUST ring the vet beforehand to check they have enough vouchers left - do not just book your cat in then turn up expecting a voucher
