Spaying/Neutering

We advocate for cats to be kept safely indoors, as they can have long and healthy lives, especially when provided with mental and physical enrichment. Cats who are allowed outdoors face many risks, such as predators and traffic.

If you allow your cat to venture outdoors, it must be spayed or neutered. This prevents the cat from contributing to the overpopulation issue in B.C., as well as protecting your pet from a variety of reproduction-related health issues, such as reproductive cancers and uterine infection, and reducing unwanted behaviours, such as extensive roaming, fighting, and spraying. Learn more about spaying/neutering your cat here.
