Hi Debbie,

First off, I think that for some people the cost of spaying and neutering is just too high. Perhaps you can work with another shelter that may be doing low cost speutering, or even vets that work with rescue groups. If you can provide some kind of voucher toward the cost of the surgery, it would be helpful.

Unfortunately, some people are just plain irresponsible, or want their cat to have "just one litter". I think education about overpopulation may help in some cases. Also, informing cat owners about the health benefits of speutering, like avoiding certain types of cancer and pyometra.

I work in a cat hospital, and we also work with rescue groups so I have seen a lot, especially during "kitten season" when the babies are brought to us. My vet does speutering at a reduced rate for the rescues and ferals. I wish more did the same.

Best of luck to you!

Regards,
PHKitkat
