Getting to Zero euthenasia's of stray, abandoned and unwanted cats and dogs can only be achieved through a spay campaign.

The more pets are sterilised the less we have to euthanase.  

 
 

UNDERSTANDING  STERILISATION

There are up to 1 million animals (mainly dogs and cats) euthanased per year in South Africa.

WHY?

• Each female cat or dog can produce about 4000 lives in 7 years.
  
• 6 puppies / kittens are born for every human baby
  
• Homeless and hungry strays could be aggressive and carry disease
  
• Repeated pregnancies cause unnecessary strain on the female dog and reduce her life span
  
• Unsterilised bitches face an increased risk of breast cancer each time she comes on heat
  
• Uterus infection is common in unsterilised bitches
  
• Sexually active males spray or mark their territories, roam and jump fences to get to bitches on heat.  They are more aggressive and prone to fighting each other.
  
• Unsterilised males are vulnerable to prostrate disease and perianal hernias.
  
• There are just not
  enough homes for all those dogs and cats.
  
•  
  

What your pet will NOT
become:

• fat after sterilisation (unless you feed too much and exercise too little; like in humans)
  
• have stunted growth and
  
• there are NO benefits in letting your pet having a first litter
  

 
 

THEREFORE

STERILISE instead of EUTHANASE

Which in the end means:

• Less pain and suffering for the animals
  
• Improved health conditions for both pets and humans
  
• Less heart sore for the people involved
  
• Reduced costs at the end of the day
