Neutering
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. Cats can breed from the age of 5 months old, rearing kittens is hard work and finding good homes, often is difficult.
Neutering is one of our biggest expenditures within our yearly running costs. If you fall into one of the categories below, you qualify for our neutering scheme. There is a charge of £5 per cat payable directly to the vet on arrival with the cat.
If you are on welfare benefits, are a student, pensioner or are on income support, then you may be elligable to take advantage of the above neutering scheme. Please call or preferably email to discuss your situation. You will get a quicker response from e mailing.
