Are Outdoor Cats Driving You Crazy?

We understand. Outdoor cats can be loud, some spray and they can produce litter after litter of kittens.

But removing them is not the best solution. By spaying/neutering outdoor cats, you can often reduce or even eliminate many of these behaviors, benefiting both you and the cats. Most importantly, spaying/neutering ends the breeding cycle and the possibility of reproduction, which in time, may reduce the number of cats in your neighborhood.
 

Conversely, if you simply eliminate one outdoor cat who has not been spayed/neutered, another intact cat will likely move in to take its place and utilize the resources the first cat left behind. That leads to an endless cycle of cat after cat having litter after litter of kittens who continue to exhibit the negative behaviors that frustrate you.
