Thinking about getting your cat fixed? We are here to clear up the confusion and help you make a safe, informed choice for your furry friend.

Thinking about spaying or neutering your cat? You're in the right place. We're here to provide all the information you need to make a confident and compassionate decision for your furry friend.

One of the biggest myths is that cats need to have one litter to be healthy. This is not true. In fact, spaying your cat before her first heat cycle significantly reduces her risk of developing certain cancers and infections.

Worried your cat will become lazy or overweight after surgery? That's a common misconception. A cat's weight is determined by diet and exercise, not by being spayed or neutered. We can share tips on keeping your fixed cat active and healthy.

The best time to spay or neuter is when they are young, typically around 4 to 5 months old. Early sterilization has proven benefits for both their long-term health and behavior. Always consult your vet for personalized advice.

This is what "not cruel" looks like. These community cats are resting safely after their neutering surgery. By preventing overpopulation, we stop the cycle of homelessness, disease, and starvation. This simple act is one of the kindest things we can do for them.
This collage shows the impact of our cat sterilization program. With the help of community caregivers, we sterilized 890 cats in the first half of 2025 alone, preventing thousands of kittens from being born onto the streets.
890 kitties sterilized by mid-July! This number represents a massive reduction in future suffering. Every single surgery was made possible by a cat lover who took the initiative to bring a community cat to our center.
