The Animal Shelter is an open-admission, public shelter that must accept all animals brought to it regardless of behavior or health, and it becomes especially challenging each year from late spring through summer because too many kittens are born of cats that have not been spayed or neutered.
The easiest way to help reduce the overwhelming numbers of unwanted cats is to spay and neuter your cat(s) and encourage others to do the same. Unaltered cats will search for a mate, and mating can lead to dozens of unwanted cats.
