Nothing else you do will alleviate as much suffering or prevent the killing or 'warehousing' of adoptable pets as quickly or efficiently as spaying and neutering." ~ Nancy Burnet

Our aim is to help end cat overpopulation in the Niagara Region
That there is a cat overpopulation means simply this: there are not enough homes for all the cats and kittens. As a result, thousands of healthy, adoptable cats and kittens are killed each year in Niagara alone. It is our failure to spay and neuter our pets that has brought us to this tragic situation. Consider this: one female cat and her offspring, in 7 years, can be responsible for the birth of 420,000 cats.
Pet abandonment is also a major contributing factor to the cat overpopulation crisis. In Niagara thousands of abandoned pets and feral cats suffer sickness, exposure, starvation and death on the streets and in the countryside as they attempt to survive on their own.
The single most important thing you can do to help end this sad situation is: spay/neuter your pet! Do not allow your pet to breed. For every new kitten born more animals in shelters die. Please be a responsible pet owner and fix your pet! Spay/neuter surgeries will lead to a decrease in the euthanasia rate and increase the live release rate (the number of animals that leave the shelter alive) of animals. If you cannot afford to spay/neuter you pet, please contact one of the two local low cost spay neuter clinics. There are no income requirements to using the clinic.

Besides being the humane thing to do, there are many health benefits to spaying and neutering your pets! It will increase his/her chance of a longer and healthier life. Spaying a female cat helps prevent uterine and ovarian cancer. It will also help prevent mammary gland cancer, perianal tumors, and pyometra. Neutering your male cat prevents prostate and testicular cancer. Cats that have been spayed or neutered are less likely to roam and/or get into fights that can lead to serious bite wounds that spread diseases such as Feline Leukemia, Feline Aids, and Feline Infectious Anemia.

Reducing the flood of unwanted animals is best done...by stopping surplus animals from being born in the first place.
